The hybrid diesel locomotive is an incredible display of power and ingenuity. It combines some great mechanical technology, including a huge, 12-cylinder,, with some heavy duty and generators, throwing in a little bit of computer technology for good measure. This 270,000-pound (122,470-kg) locomotive is designed to tow passenger-train cars at speeds of up to 110 miles per hour (177 kph). The diesel engine makes 3,200, and the generator can turn this into almost 4,700 amps of electrical current. The four drive motors use this electricity to generate over 64,000 pounds of thrust. There is a completely separate V-12 engine and generator to provide electrical power for the rest of the train. This generator is called the head-end power unit.

INDIA: A prototype twin-unit electric freight locomotive is being produced at the Diesel Locomotive Works in Varanasi by rebuilding two diesel locomotives. The 12-axle WAGC3 locomotive is to be formed from two permanently-coupled sections each rated at 5 000 hp, compared to 2 600 hp for each of the original WDG3A diesel-electric freight locomotives. DLW said the project was being undertaken with a ‘crack team’ of engineers from the Research Design & Standards Organisation, Chittaranjan Locomotive Works and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd.
