Locomotive

An old steam locomotive puffing along. It means trains, rail travel and anything with momentum, like a hype train or a bandwagon.

People say 'all aboard 🚂' when a plan picks up speed or a crowd jumps on a trend. It also fits heritage railway trips, model trains and kids who love trains, with a 'choo choo' charm that the sleeker train emoji lack.
