Do locomotive 'prime movers' use 'glow plugs' when getting those engines started?

Did any use the 'glow plugs'?

Answer:
Not the shipboard ones. If you watch any rail yard, you will see one locomotive idling some where. That way the others can be shut down. That one loco will provide starting air. In extremely cold areas, locos will idle all night long just to keep the fuel from gelling.

Not that i know of.They have a prime to pressurize the fuel rails and then a start position on the start switch.The new ones you just push the start button and it primes itself then starts.If they have glow plugs though i'm not aware of it.

I would say no. Only because I had to start up a D6 Caterpillar bulldozer with an almost like Briggs&Stratton gas motor.as the starter motor to turn over the diesel motor.So, not even a battery. Diesel engines start because of the heat of compression(maybe 500+PSI on a healthy motor) Less cylinder compression as it wears down= the harder to start. Locomotive engines have a mess of batteries and their engines are in good shape and are kept up.
NEVER wrong SOME of the TIME
What are "prime movers"? Does"prime"refer to some time or some space? If time, then when? And space, then where? And what do the "movers" move? Similarly, what are "glow plugs"? Why do the plugs glow and what do the plugs plug? Finally, who or what are "any"?
