A locomotive engine system (100) includes a gearbox assembly (306) that includes a housing (402) having plural interconnected gears disposed between an engine side of the housing (402) and an alternator side (804, 806, 808) of the housing (402), a rotatable engine coupler (410) connected with the engine side of the housing (402), the engine coupler (410) configured to engage a rotatable (108) shaft of an engine, and a rotatable alternator coupler (500) connected with the alternator side (804, 806, 808) of the housing (402), the alternator coupler (500) configured to engage a rotor of a first alternator (104). The housing (402) is configured to be positioned between the engine (102, 302) and the first alternator (104). The engine coupler (410) is configured to engage the engine (102, 302) that is resiliently mounted in the powered system and the alternator coupler (500) is configured to engage the first alternator (104) that is rigidly mounted in the powered system to transfer rotation of the shaft of the engine (102, 302) to rotation of the rotor of the first alternator (104).
