The rolling locomotive or multiple unit wheels turn
the motor armatures, and the motors act as generators, either sending the generated current through onboard resistors (dynamic braking) or back into the supply (regenerative braking).
Dynamic braking takes advantage of the fact that the traction
motor armatures are always rotating when the locomotive is in motion and that a motor can be made to act as a generator by separately exciting the field winding.

This allows current to flow to the starter
motor itself, which spins the
armature.
