English-Finnish translations for locomotive

• veturi
  Se ei ole enää veturi, kuten joskus aiemmin, vaan tämän junan viimeinen vaunu. It is no longer the locomotive it once was, it is now the last coach in the train.
  Jokainen veturi - riippumatta siitä, kuljettaako se matkustajia vai tavaroita - joutuu maksamaan rautatiemaksun jokaisesta matkakilometristä. Every locomotive - whether it transports passengers or goods - must pay a rail toll for every kilometre it travels.
  On tietysti muistettava, että kyseessä on mies, joka ei erota veturin etupäätä sen takapäästä ja jonka asiantuntemus aiheesta rajoittuu Tuomas Veturi -lastenfilmeihin. Of course, this is a man who would not know one end of a railway locomotive from the other and whose expertise is restricted to Thomas the Tank Engine.
