GE GEVO-12, 12-cylinder engine used in locomotives, such as the GE ES30ACi, GE ES44AC, [6] GE ES43ACi, GE ES43ACmi, 3TE25K2M and MPI HSP46 Diesel Locomotives; GE GEVO-16, 16-cylinder engine used in locomotives, such as the GE ES59ACi, [6] GE ES58ACi, [6] GE ES57ACi Diesel Locomotives. HDL series [1] GE 7HDL-16, 16-cylinder engine used in only ...
Click or hover over numbers to see names. The diagram, which is not to scale, is a composite of various designs in the late steam era. Some components shown are not the same as, or are not present, on some locomotives – for example, on smaller or articulated types. Conversely, some locomotives have components not listed here.
When stationary engines had multiple cylinders, they could be classified as: Simple engines, with multiple identical cylinders operating on a common crankshaft. Compound engines which use the exhaust from high-pressure cylinders to power low-pressure cylinders. An engine could be run in simple or condensing mode:
GE built 106 AC6000CWs for Union Pacific, but with the older, proven 7FDL engine installed, rated for 4,400 hp (3,300 kW). These units were originally intended to be converted to the 6,250 hp (4,660 kW) 7HDL engine after some problems with the 7HDL were solved, but the conversion never occurred.
The model name stands for broad gauge (W), Diesel (D), Mixed traffic (M) engine with 3300 horsepower (3D). The engine is classified WDM-3D though it outputs only 3300 hp and not 3400 hp as the name should suggest. They entered service in 2003. A total of 590+ WDM-3D were built at Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW), Varanasi between 2003 and 2016.
At 140 ft 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (42.74 m) overall, engine and tender, the S1 was the longest reciprocating steam locomotive ever; it also had the heaviest tender (451,840 lb / 205 tonnes), highest tractive effort (76,403 lbf (339.86 kN)) of a passenger steam engine when built and the largest driving wheels (7 feet in diameter) ever used on a ...
The Daihatsu 2HA engine is a horizontal engine that was developed for Daihatsu Bee (1951-1952). The 2HA engine was available in two version, 540 cc and 804 cc. The earlier version was a 540 cc, with output 13.5 PS (13.3 hp; 9.9 kW) and the larger 804 cc available shortly, with output increased to 18 PS (17.8 hp; 13.2 kW). [17]
The invention of the Climax locomotive is attributed to Charles D. Scott, who ran a forest railway near Spartansburg, Pennsylvania between 1875 and 1878. A lumberjack of considerable mechanical ingenuity, Scott sought to bring an improved logging locomotive of his own design to market and brought the drawings to the nearby Climax Manufacturing Company in Corry, Pennsylvania.
