Drawings for the engine have been acquired and construction is expected to begin following the completion of Prince of Wales. Parts for the engine have already been acquired which include tyres for the engines pony, cartazzi and 5 ft 8in driving wheels.
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 AC4400CW was the first GE locomotive to offer an optional self-steering truck design, intended to increase adhesion and reduce wear on the railhead. [1] This option was specified by Canadian Pacific Railway, Cartier Railway, CSX for their units 201-599, Ferromex, Ferrosur, and Kansas City Southern Railway.
