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.

The locomotives weighed 542,432 lb (246,043 kg) and utilized two EMD 645E3A V-16 diesel engines, each rated at 3,300 hp (2,500 kW), for a combined rating of 6,600 hp (4,900 kW). Maximum speed was set at 80 mph (130 km/h). UP 6916 was built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in November 1969, as one of a series of 47 locomotives of ...
Initially, two versions of a 6-axle C'C' machine were offered with medium speed engines from the Anglo-Belgian Corporation: the Maxima 30CC and Maxima 40CC (the most powerful single-engined diesel-hydraulic locomotive in the world, rated at 3,600 kW (4,800 hp)). [5] In 2008 a third model, the four-axle Maxima 20 BB, was added to the range.
The locomotives' exterior was styled by ALCO engineer Ray Patten, who used curves in a mild application of Art Deco principles. The S-2 and S-4 are distinguishable externally from the very similar S-1 and S-3 660 hp (492 kW) switchers in that they have a larger exhaust stack with an oblong base and a larger radiator shutter area on the nose sides.
