A diesel locomotive is a type of railway locomotive in which the power source is a diesel engine. Several types of diesel locomotives have been developed, differing mainly in the means by which mechanical power is conveyed to the driving wheels. The most common are diesel-electric locomotives and diesel-hydraulic.

Contact Us. The ES58ACi locomotive is the most powerful Wabtec heavy-haul diesel-electric unit in operation. It incorporates the latest model GEVO V16 cylinders diesel engine on an AC traction-system backbone. The GEVO16 engine operates on a 4-stroke cycle, is fully turbocharged via two turbochargers and an intercooler producing 6000 GHP.
Diesel engines have a much slower operating speed than gasoline, and that goes double for the massive ones used in locomotives. The large displacement diesel engine tops out at about 2,100 rpm, or lower. With a speed range like this, a locomotive would need 20 or 30 gears to make it up to 110 mph.
The average cost of a diesel-electric locomotive ranges from $1.5 million to $5 million. 2. Electric Locomotive. Electric locomotives, on the other hand, are powered solely by electricity, making them a cleaner and more energy-efficient option. The cost of an electric locomotive falls between $2 million to $10 million. 3.

Although Dr Rudolph Diesel invented the diesel engine in 1892, it was not until 1947 that the London Midland and Scottish Railway developed a successful mainline diesel locomotive. The railways were nationalised in 1948 and it was decided by British Railways that they would continue to build steam locomotives to a new standard design.
The new locomotives will be two-cab, narrow-body locomotives equipped with a diesel engine providing diesel power of 3000 kW, that will allow KiwiRail to operate its trains with fewer
