Two GE units (6000 and 6002) along with two Chinese units are testing on GE's test track at Erie, PA on May 16th 2008. Sorry for the jumpy video, I will not be using that camera again!

  • Am I the only person who thinks that the Chinese locomotives bear a striking resemblance to the Family Lines BQ23-7 Aegis cruisers?

  • @GordonFreemanD40 haha thats trivial..... the 16 cylinder GEVO engine installed is more than capable of achieving the extra 250 horsepower, but it makes little difference since the total installed rating of the traction motors is most likely around 5500 hp anyway. the big difference between the american version of the locomotive and the chinese version is the weight, and therefore the adhesion and tractive effort, which is significantly less on the chinese version.

  • @FanRailer Most sources say that the ES59ACi is rated at 6000HP while the AC6000CW/ES60AC is rated at 6250HP. The AC6000CW is a Cummins ISL more powerful than the ES59ACi

  • @GordonFreemanD40 Not really downrated unless you are talking about the tractive effort.... horsepower output is the same.

  • @epistte they are actually downrated versions of the AC6000CWs

  • The Chinese locomotives look like the offspring of a BQ23-7 and a ES44AC. 

  • You can here the raw power

  • blizzard how do you know when theres going to be one on there ive lived here 29 years and never seen those tracks used

  • the united nations power move!
