Diesel Engines for Locomotives
Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1928Abstract Objections to the steam locomotive are made on grounds of inefficiency, the author stating that 92 to 98 per cent of the heat in the coal is being wasted, while a Diesel locomotive has an efficiency of about 33 per cent. The Diesel locomotive, however, cannot be started under full load, cannot carry any overload without ...

Diesel electric rail cars and locomotives
Electrical Engineering, 1934Gasoline 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, 2020The 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, 1949FORTY-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, 1953The 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, 1949DIESEL 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.

Exposure to Diesel Exhaust Emissions on Board Locomotives
AIHA Journal, 2003Measurements 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

Gearing for Diesel-electric locomotives
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Part II: Applications and Industry, 1955TWO 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.
