Diesel electric rail cars and locomotives

Electrical Engineering, 1934
Gasoline and Diesel electric equipment used for motive power on rail cars and locomotives is considered in this paper. The more important problems such as the securing of a suitable method of drive for Diesel electric locomotives are considered especially for heavy railway work.

Modernization of exhaust manifolds of DG882L diesel-generator for diesel locomotives

Transport of the Urals, 2020
The paper considers a serial design of a collapsible exhaust manifold for pulse boosting system of 8DM-21EL2M diesel engine and it’s modernized variant made of cast iron. The authors present results of modeling of exhaust gas and coolant flows gas dynamics. They also show the temperature distribution over the manifold surface.

Application of diesel-electric locomotives

Electrical Engineering, 1949
FORTY-FIVE PER CENT of the total operating expense of a railroad is affected directly by the character of the motive power used. Consequently, very careful consideration should be given to the proper selection of this power. From a strictly engineering viewpoint, a locomotive should be purchased as a tool to fit the job.

Electric transmission with diesel locomotives

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Part II: Applications and Industry, 1953
The first diesel locomotive, I understand, employed direct side rod drive, somewhat similar to steam power. As might be expected, this transmission of diesel power was not found satisfactory.

The preference for diesel-electric locomotives

Electrical Engineering, 1949
DIESEL locomotives pulling long freight trains of several thousand tons on mainline railroads are a familiar sight, yet most people are not generally aware of the time and effort that must be expended in collecting and distributing this freight moving over the principal lines of the railways.

Gearing for Diesel-electric locomotives

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Part II: Applications and Industry, 1955
TWO means of improving railroad operating efficiency are related to locomotive operation and performance. One is to obtain maximum locomotive utilization, and the other is to increase gross ton-miles per train-hour.

Exposure to Diesel Exhaust Emissions on Board Locomotives

AIHA Journal, 2003
Measurements of diesel exhaust emissions (DEEs) were taken in the cabs of leading and trailing locomotives on 48 runs, under winter and summer conditions, on 9 different routes. The cab windows were kept open during the summer runs and closed during the winter runs. The average measurement duration was 9.5 hours. There was virtually no exposure to DEEs

Mechanical design of electric and diesel-electric locomotives

Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1950
The paper deals with that part of the locomotive which may termed the chassis and body work; it does not concern itself with mechanical design of electrical apparatus. After surveying the physical limitations within which locomotives must be designed, the paper outlines the three main groups into which chassis design naturally falls, namely the ...
