These feature the same carbody design and many of the internal components as the Dash-9 series, except they are equipped with AC traction motors instead of the conventional DC versions. The cab air conditioner was moved from the left (conductor's) side walkway to a position under the cab floor to make space for the six traction inverters (one ...
Fourteen units were built after ALCO's withdrawal: two 50-ton units, eleven 100-ton units and one 120-ton unit. The 120-ton unit was an experimental unit with one larger 6 cylinder engine. The last 100-ton unit was produced in 1930 on stock and sold in 1935 to the Belt Railway of Chicago , where it was given the road number 301.
The GE U50 was an eight-axle, 5,000 hp (3,700 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Rail. They were twin-engined locomotives, combining two 2,500 hp (1,900 kW) diesel engines . Configuration
The span-bolster B+B-B+B design was not suited to this service, and the requirement for power at speed rather than low-speed hauling meant six powered axles would be sufficient. The design incorporated extensive weight saving features. GE replaced the 16-cylinder prime movers of the U50 with advanced 12-cylinder engines, lighter and shorter ...
50 ft (15.24 m) Loco weight: 43 to 50 short tons (38 to 45 long tons; 39 to 45 t) Prime mover: two Cummins HBI-600 or 855NTC diesels in later models: RPM range: 1,800 rpm (max) Aspiration: Normally aspirated: Displacement: 672 cubic inches (11 L) or 855 cubic inches (14 L) Traction motors: Two, one per truck. Chain or side rod drive to second ...
The principle of operation was the same as modern locomotives, the diesel engine driving a main generator of 600 volts DC with four traction motors, one per axle. There were three models, the 60-Ton with a six-cylinder four-stroke in-line engine of 300 hp (220 kW) of which twenty were produced, a 66-Ton of which six were produced, and the 100 ...
An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.
Another broad gauge variant also came in 2012 only, that is, the EMD GT50AC, also known as the Indian locomotive class WDG-5, a smaller and lighter 135-ton variant, with an up-tweaked EMD 20N-710G3B-EC engine, capable of producing 5,500 HP (4.1MW) @ 910 RPM, to serve the Indian Railways, whose current tracks are weak to handle very heavy ...
