Pilot (locomotive)

Pilot of a 1911 Baldwin steam engine at the Texas Transportation Museum
Leading truck and pilot on the John Bull
Pilot of a modern locomotive. (Indian locomotive class WAG-9)
Lifeguard (circled) on a UK HST powercar

In railroading, the pilot (also known as a cowcatcher or cattle catcher) is the device mounted at the front of a locomotive to deflect obstacles on the track that might otherwise derail the train.

In addition to the pilot, small metal bars called life-guards, rail guards or (UK) guard irons are provided immediately in front of the wheels. They knock away smaller obstacles lying directly on the running surface of the railhead. Historically fenced-off railway systems in Europe relied exclusively on these devices and did not use pilots, but this design is rarely used in modern systems.
