Locomotive Mountain is a 2,340-metre (7,680-foot) mountain summit located in the Railroad Group of the Coast Mountains, in the Pemberton Valley of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 35 km (22 mi) northwest of Pemberton, 3 km (2 mi) east of Handcar Peak, and 2.1 km (1 mi) south of Face Mountain, which is the nearest higher neighbor.[3] Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into tributaries of the Fraser River. The mountain's name was proposed in 1978 by mountaineer Karl Ricker of the Alpine Club of Canada, in association with Railroad Pass, Railroad Creek, and other railroad-related names of the immediate vicinity.[4] The toponym was officially adopted January 23, 1979, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2]
