  2. Butanol fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butanol_fuel

    The fuel in an engine has to be vaporized before it will burn. Insufficient vaporization is a known problem with alcohol fuels during cold starts in cold weather. As the heat of vaporization of butanol is less than half of that of ethanol, an engine running on butanol should be easier to start in cold weather than one running on ethanol or ...

    Diagram of Priestman oil engine from The Steam engine and gas and oil engines (1900) by John Perry Petrol–electric Weitzer railmotor, first 1903, series 1906. The earliest recorded example of the use of an internal combustion engine in a railway locomotive is the prototype designed by William Dent Priestman, which was examined by William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin in 1888 who described it as ...

  4. Internal combustion locomotive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_locomotive

    An internal combustion locomotive is a type of railway locomotive that produces its pulling power using an internal combustion engine.These locomotives are fuelled by burning fossil fuels, most commonly oil or gasoline (UK: petrol), to produce rotational power which is transmitted to the locomotive's driving wheels by various direct or indirect transmission mechanisms.

  5. EMD E-unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_E-unit

    It was not unusual for heavy repairs to be done en route on one engine while the other engine propelled the train at reduced speed. The 201-A engines used in E-units were 900 hp (700 kW) V12s. Experience with the 201-A, which was the first two-stroke Diesel engine in operational use, was invaluable in the development of the next-generation ...

  6. EMC 1800 hp B-B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMC_1800_hp_B-B

    Power was provided by twin 900 hp (670 kW) 12 cylinder Winton 201-A diesel engines in each power unit, exceeding by 50% the most power that could be attained with a single engine at that time. The added "headroom" in power extended the life of mechanical parts, which was a critical issue with early diesel engines in locomotives.

  7. Electro-diesel locomotive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-diesel_locomotive

    OPE1A [ru; uk] industrial electro-diesel locomotive for quarry railways with primary electric locomotive and two diesel B–units. An electro-diesel locomotive (also referred to as a dual-mode or bi-mode locomotive) is a type of locomotive that can be powered either from an electricity supply (like an electric locomotive) or by using the onboard diesel engine (like a diesel-electric locomotive).

  8. Steam diesel hybrid locomotive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_diesel_hybrid_locomotive

    A steam diesel hybrid locomotive is a railway locomotive with a piston engine which could run on either steam from a boiler or diesel fuel.Examples were built in the United Kingdom, Soviet Union and Italy but the relatively high cost of fuel oil, or failure to resolve problems caused by technical complexity, meant that the designs were not pursued.

  9. EMD SD45-2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_SD45-2

    Part of the EMD Dash 2 line, the SD45-2 was an upgraded SD45.Like the SD45, the SD45-2 had an EMD 645E3 20-cylinder engine producing 3,600 horsepower (2,680 kW). The main spotting difference between an SD45 and an SD45-2 was the long hood and the rear radiator.
