  3. EMD DE30AC and DM30AC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_DE30AC_and_DM30AC

    The bodies of the DE30AC and the DM30AC are extremely similar; the difference is the ability of the DM30AC to use electric third rail while the diesel engine is off, enabling the locomotive to use the East River Tunnels into New York Penn Station. This permits direct service from non-electrified lines in eastern Long Island via the western ...

  4. British Rail Class 185 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_185

    Each powertrain consists of a 561 kW (752 hp) Cummins QSK19 turbo-diesel engine driving a Voith T 312 bre three-speed hydrokinetic transmission, which in turn drives the axles via Voith SK-485 and KE-485 final drives. [32] [note 1] The other bogie on each vehicle is unpowered. The engine and torque converter were frame-mounted underfloor and ...

  5. Diesel–electric powertrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieselelectric_powertrain

    Dieselelectric transmission is used on railways by dieselelectric locomotives and dieselelectric multiple units, as electric motors are able to supply full torque from 0 RPM. Dieselelectric systems are also used in marine transport, including submarines, and on some other land vehicles.

    In planning the launch of the TEE services, it was decided to use diesel-powered fixed sets for the new trains. While the French and the Italians refined existing designs, the Germans introduced a new design, the VT 11.5. The Swiss and Dutch railways cooperated on a joint development for a new 4-car diesel-electric trainset. The design comprised:

  9. EMD MP15DC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_MP15DC

    The MP15AC is 1.5 ft (457 mm) longer than an MP15DC, the extra space being needed for the rectifier equipment. The alternator-rectifier combination is more reliable than a generator, and this equipment became the standard for new diesel-electric locomotive designs. The MP15AC is easily distinguished from the DC models.
