The ALP-45A locomotives from the 2017 and 2020 orders will be numbered 4535–4559. On December 15, 2020, the first unit from the order, #4535, has left the Kassel factory and was delivered in January 2021. [35] #4536 was the first ALP-45A unit to enter revenue service on July 30, 2021. [36]
The ALP-46 locomotives produce 7,100 hp (5,300 kW) and are powered by overhead catenary. They can reach a top speed of 100 mph (161 km/h). [1] The ALP-46 is derived from the DBAG Class 101 locomotive, of which the operating speed is 200 km/h (124 mph). The locomotives use Bombardier's MITRAC 3000 electric propulsion system.
Steam locomotives constructed in the 21st century fall into two broad categories: those that use advanced steam technology to be commercially competitive with diesels; and those built to more traditional designs for hauling tourist trains. Even locomotives in the second case likely use some modern methods and materials.
The ALP-44 is powered by overhead lines through one of the locomotive's two pantographs and can produce up to 7000 hp (5.2 MW) with a top speed of up to 125 mph (201 km/h). In commercial use, however, both New Jersey Transit and SEPTA ALP-44s were only cleared for speeds up to 100 mph (161 km/h).
The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class V1 and Class V3 were two classes of related 2-6-2T steam locomotive designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. [1] A total of 82 V1s were built with 71 being rebuilt into the higher pressure V3s with an additional ten being built as V3s from the final batch of V1s.
The DB Class 101 is a class of three-phase electric locomotives built by Adtranz and operated by DB Fernverkehr in Germany. 145 locomotives were built between 1996 and 1999 to replace the 30-year-old and aging Class 103 as the flagship of the Deutsche Bahn, primarily hauling Intercity services.
H.C. Webster's book 2750: Legend of a Locomotive [3] provides an account of the locomotive's service with the LNER, written from the perspective of the driver. The characters and dialog in the book are fictional, but it characterizes events and operations that appear to be broadly consistent with the known history of the locomotive.
The classes are numbered according to the locomotive classification of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, which had been adopted by Deutsche Bahn in 1994. Since 2007, classifications for all German railway companies are centrally issued by the Federal Railway Office in line with UIC classification rules .
