Locomotive Guessing Game

ES44c4?

[BNSFdude]

FEC isn't a Class 1.

ES44AH...? As far as I know only CSX and UP have these. The former having Hi-AD trucks. Only issue is that the CSX units were produced prior to 2010 I think.

This unit is owned by two class one railroads.

Build date, sometime around 2010?-present

GE ES44C4? Aren't BNSF and FEC the only two railroads to own these?

Correct!


And that other post saying FEC isnt a Class one? I didn't know about that.

For the sake of trying to keep this thread going because this seems like a fun thread I'll give it a go.

Only 4 of these experimental locomotives were build in between 1956 and 1959 by GMD of Canada. One remains in service in Alberta, another went to Pakistan and refitted to another gauge, one in a museum and one was scrapped. The best hint to give about these locomotives is that they have more 50's era flare than a 57' Chevy.

Weren't those GMD-3 or 5's?

I know the engine but i don't know the Classification.

LWT12?

[DrewG]

BNOV your close. Buzz not the one I'm thinking of.

I didn't use the Internet but did refer to a book. I know the answer, is that still ok?

Two of the four had 600HP, the others, 800HP.

TheCanadianrail would know this one considering he worked with it.
GMDH-1

[DrewG]

Indeed, you got the name of them?

[GaryG]

The DH = Diesel-Hydraulic.

[DrewG]

Your 99% there, it's a diesel Hydraulic and the DH is in the name but I'm looking for a specific model, they made a couple different versions.

[DrewG]
