Amtrak operates a fleet of 2,142 railway cars and 425 locomotives for revenue runs and service, collectively called rolling stock.Notable examples include the GE Genesis and Siemens Charger diesel locomotives, the Siemens ACS-64 electric locomotive, the Amfleet series of single-level passenger cars, the Superliner series of double-decker passenger cars, and 20 Acela Express high-speed trainsets.
The cylinder size is 175 millimetres (6.9 in) x 220 millimetres (8.7 in) bore/stroke. The engine can produce 1500-4800 horsepower at 1800 RPM. The peak torque occurs at an engine speed of 1500 RPM. The engine weighs over ten tonnes. The Cat C175 is often used in locomotives, passenger-class ships and Caterpillar haul trucks like the 793F and 797F.
A genset locomotive is a locomotive in which a number of smaller diesel engines are used rather than a single large engine. The term is short for "generator set." [1]
In April, two 1,200 horsepower (900 kW) BL12CG genset locomotives were delivered to the Central California Traction Company. [13] In June, the M-1 Rail Line in Detroit , Michigan ordered six streetcars at a purchase price of $32 million.
See list The NRE 3GS21B is a low-emissions diesel genset locomotive built by National Railway Equipment (NRE). Instead of a single prime mover, the NRE genset locomotive is powered by three separate 700 horsepower (522 kW ) Cummins QSK19C engines providing a total power output of 2,100 horsepower (1,570 kW ).
Electrical power aboard is provided by three Caterpillar 3406 DITA generators which produce 285 kW each. [19] Each ship also has a 210 kW emergency generator, which is a Caterpillar 3406 DIT. [21] The buoy deck has 1,335 square feet (124.0 m 2) of working area. A crane with a boom 42 feet (13 m) long lifts buoys and their mooring anchors onto ...
N-ViroMotives are newly built as opposed to rebuilt with donor parts. They use a low hood design with up to three diesel generator sets (gensets) that supply power to the traction motors. The current gensets use a 700 horsepower (522 kW) Cummins diesel engine and can be easily swapped in and out for repair or overhaul work.
