The DD40-x's were awesome. They were seen on East bound fast freights out of Los Angeles to Arizona.

Where was this at?

[GranTurismo360]

Hey how come it has a huge hole in the body of the train?

[grumple123]

thats where some of the electronical equipment is located (Thats my best guess from what i pieced together using the internet)

[KWKN]

@GranTurismo360 From what I remember reading, they had to run with the side doors open to help prevent the engines from overheating.

@GranTurismo360 Since the locomotive is so long, it is a "passage" way to get from one side to the other.

[Gungniir]

Truely a massive locomotive.

[jfsa380]

@Gungniir 98 feet long, 6600 horsepower, 521,980 ponds, yeah, kinda a big engine. largest and most powerful to the day

[ihave2rocks]

@jfsa380 NOT the most powerful, but it was at it's prototype era.
