No. 7 was a Baldwin 28-ton 2-4-4T Forney locomotive (Baldwin classification 10-16 1/4 C-5a) which was scrapped in 1937 along with the rest of the railroad, being badly damaged in the 1931 Wiscasset roundhouse fire. The new locomotive is being constructed traditional techniques and tools, such as a riveted boiler.

The MK5000C is a 5,000 hp (3.7 MW) North American diesel-electric locomotive developed by MK Rail.At the time of its introduction in 1994, the MK5000C was the most powerful single prime mover diesel-electric locomotive ever made, a title it would hold for only for one year until GE Transportation released its competing 6,000 hp (4.5 MW) AC6000CW model in 1995.
Engines (i.e. self-contained prime movers) used to power rail locomotives. These are almost all diesel engines, although a few of the early examples used petrol (gasoline) and spark ignition, a few later examples are gas turbines. Steam locomotives are not included here, as they don't contain a separate prime mover as such.
Locomotives exported to Indonesia are quite different from other locomotives produced by GE. They use the same type of engine across all models (GE 7FDL-8, except for UM 106T Locomotives which used Alco 12-244E). Despite using the same type of engine, the power capabilities from type to type are different as some models are equipped with dual ...
The AC6000CW is a 6,000-horsepower (4,500 kW) diesel electric locomotive built between 1995 and 2001 by GE Transportation. It is among the world's most powerful single-engined diesel locomotives. The locomotive was designed for extremely high horsepower needs, such as pulling heavy coal and ore trains.
