Details of 8-wheel, double truck locomotives used for switching and transfer services; Diesel engines suitable for 44-ton locomotives fall in two speed classes; those running at 900 to 1000 rpm and those with normal speed of 1600 to 1800 rpm; because of speed difference, two classes of engines require different generators but they are of same general type and construction; same traction motor is used with either generator; engines are rated at from 190 to 200 hp.
