gives the speed of the motor, the current gives the power
I like a lot, how brief and clear and SIMPLE You've explained this complex thing!
But let me add, that the current is actually more consequence, than reason in case or locomotive's motor.
We control only voltage, applied to motors (by Thyristors, arrangement, transformer's output or diesel rpm controlling) usually.
Current is either not controlled, or controlled mostly automatically for correction purposes: I mean stator's shunting for field weakening, or altering generator's field by governor for more complete power transmission, according to generator's voltage (i.e. prime motor's rpm) and locomotive current speed, or wheel slipping (i.e. average, or individual tractive motor's rpm)

That is why the coils of the stationary part are blown out with a separate switch on some locomotives.
This would require a voltage difference between two steps and the number of steps. The voltage difference between stages is always the same.
What do You mean? Translation gives no chances to catch :(
