Heavy Trains with Light Locomotives
• Axle loads on most railroads outside North America
are 18 tonnes to 22 tonnes
• Trains of 9,000 to 12,000 tonnes are common
• Use of distributed power is common
–Radio distributed power
–ECP/WDP

Summary
• AC Traction has displaced DC Traction
• Railroads are increasing productivity & reducing operating
cost with AC Traction Locomotives
• EMD has developed a family of AC traction locomotives
that permits us to meet the needs of railroads throughout the
world
