  • Abstract
    The largest Diesel-electric locomotive to be built in a single unit recently has been placed in service. Each of the eight driving axles has its own traction motor. As a result the same locomotive may be used economically in either high-speed passenger service or freight service in mountainous territory by changing the traction motor gearing, a simple shop job.
