The current rule book may have slightly different wording, but the U.C.O.R.
rev. 1962 defines an engine thusly:
ENGINE - A unit propelled by any form of energy, or a combination of such units
operated from a single control, used in train or yard service.
TRAIN - An engine or more than one engine coupled, with or without cars,
displaying markers.
I would expect that 'displaying markers' has been deleted from this definition
since 1962 since marker lights are pretty much history.

The railroads, and thus the diesel manufacturers, had an
interest in
considering a group of diesels to be a single locomotive
because of the
labour issues.
-------------------------------------------------
Still applies today. The rule book defines a locomotive as
one or more
locomotives, coupled together and operated in multiple from
the lead cab, or
something like that.
