A locomotive winch is a technical device for moving stabled railway locomotives. These could be broken down diesel or electric locomotives, but also 'cold' steam locomotives that have been stabled or stored in a locomotive shed. It was particularly important in the case of the latter category because the firing up of a steam locomotive from cold took several hours. As a result, in Germany, locomotive winches could be found in almost all steam locomotive sheds (Bahnbetriebswerk). They were usually electrically operated. Using pulleys, they could be used to pull locomotives on tracks other than the one on which they were installed.

| - Eine Lokomotivverzugwinde ist ein technisches Gerät zum Bewegen abgestellter Lokomotiven. Dies können defekte Diesellokomotiven oder Elektrolokomotiven, aber auch kalt abgestellte Dampfloks sein. Gerade bei letzteren waren die Winden wichtig, da das Anheizen einer Dampflokomotive mehrere Stunden in Anspruch nimmt. Daher waren Lokomotivverzugwinden in fast allen Dampflok-Bahnbetriebswerken zu finden. Ihr Antrieb erfolgte meist elektrisch. Über Umlenkrollen konnten auch Gleise bedient werden, die sich nicht am eigentlichen Standort der Winde befanden. (de)
