3 December 1995 600-602 original prime movers replaced with 4,400 hp (3,300 kW) 7FDL16 engines. This is due to these units being pre-production models and mechanical differences between them and the production model. 603-699, 5000-5016 114 October 1998-April 2000 603-699, 5000-5016's original prime movers replaced with 4,600 hp (3,400 kW) 16 cyl.
In addition, Westinghouse produced and supplied electrical and traction equipment for Baldwin diesel locomotives from 1939 to 1955 and Lima-Hamilton diesels from 1949-1951 until production at Lima, Ohio ended with the merger into Baldwin.
Two were supplied in 1926 and three in 1928. Each Z-1 locomotive had two semi-permanently coupled 1-D-1 box-cab units; the pair weighed more than 371 tons with an hourly rating of 4330 hp and a continuous tractive effort of 88,500 lbs per unit (177,000 lb per pair) and a maximum starting effort of 189,000 lb.
The design has since proven popular with North American railroads, although some railroads, such as CSX and Canadian Pacific, preferred its AC equivalent, the AC4400CW. Because of more stringent emissions requirements that came into effect in the United States on January 1, 2005, the Dash 9-44CW has been replaced in production by the GE ES44DC .
[1] The existing UGL Rail Cv40-9i locomotive design was used as a base, but with alterations including: [2] Higher horsepower prime mover; Smaller main alternator; Enlarged radiator size now overhangs the walkway at the number 2 end to cope with the more powerful engine; AC traction motor allowing an increase in haulage capacity
MTH has announced their intention to install DCS compatible decoders in S scale trains beginning in 2013. [1] Separate sale decoder kits have been offered for installation in all of the above noted scales except H0 and S. DCS is predominantly used in three-rail O gauge. Its chief competitors in three-rail O are Lionel's TMCC and Legacy systems.
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.
The design was later named the "Liberty" model, and features the ability to operate away from the overhead electric power wires for a limited distance, using batteries.
