The history of the place begins in 1963 when it was decided to station a unit of the Soviet Strategic Missile Forces near Kartaly . The 59th Missile Division began its service on December 18, 1966. The military code name for the base was Kartaly-6 , for the associated housing estate, whose self-government organs began work in 1974, also Solnetschny .

From 1979 up to 46 ICBMs of the various modifications of the type R-36M (RS-20 by the Soviet armed forces, called SS-18 Satan by NATO ) were stationed at Kartaly-6 as one of six locations , which until the end of the 1990s Years remained the backbone of the Soviet and Russian nuclear forces.

In 1992, the place received the status of a closed, urban-type settlement subordinated to the oblast and its current name, which refers to the importance of the nearby Kartaly as a railway junction (Russian lokomotiw for locomotive ).

In May 2002, as part of the funding cuts for the Russian armed forces and as a result of the Russian-American START-II and SORT agreements, the destruction of the missile systems stationed near Lokomotivny began. At the end of 2005 it was essentially complete; the missile division was disbanded. The status of the place as a "closed settlement", which has been retained so far to cushion social problems, may be lifted in 2010.
