Design of 4000 hp B-B diesel hydraulic locomotive series 69,000, fitted with monomotor-type trucks incorporating Voith turbo transmissions, for French National Railroads; 2 engines are arranged back-to-back to permit direct drive to truck-mounted transmission from which radiator fan drives are taken; placing of engines close to truck centers to reduce bending moments and use of deep welded-steel girder-type underframe beneath engine compartments are features of design.
