That looks like Rochelle, Illinois at the BNSF interlocking. I go over that diamond everyday inside one of those UP Locomotive.

AC traction motors don't have brushes.

I never knew that. I just thought that different railroads had different designations for it.

Yep I dont know why they make two different traction motors, but NS likes the DC and UP likes the AC traction
Treyvs 4 years ago
Wonder why that is? Which puts out more tractive effort? (I did spell that right, right?)
fafnir242 4 years ago
No, DC Traction motoros take more power from the engine to make the power to move the train, and AC takes less.
Oh! Ok!

Nice!! Plenty of ACe power at the diamond today! NS calls these units SD70M-2s.
No the SD70M-2 is actually a DC traction motor version of the SD70ACe since that loco has AC traction motors
