Modern "Diesel" train engines are hybrids that use electric motors on the drive wheels and the Diesel as a generator.
This arrangement allows the Diesel to operate in a narrow carefully tuned RPM range for increased effeciency.
As opposed to car engines that because of their wide band tuning are less effecient.
