OBS

Dans le secteur ferroviaire, le terme «mécanicien» est spécialement employé pour désigner la personne qui dirige une locomotive. Il est à noter cependant qu'il sert aussi à désigner la personne qui répare une locomotive ou en effectue l'entretien. En effet, dans la Classification nationale des professions (CNP), on trouve par exemple le terme «mécanicien de locomotives» comme équivalent français du terme anglais «locomotive mechanic».
