GE built 106 AC6000CWs for Union Pacific, but with the older, proven 7FDL engine installed, rated for 4,400 hp (3,300 kW). These units were originally intended to be converted to the 6,250 hp (4,660 kW) 7HDL engine after some problems …

7HDL16 (as found in the AC6000CW) Bore - 9.85 Inch Stroke - 12.61 Inch Max RPM - 1050 Compression Ratio - 15.2:1 Turbo - (2) 7S1408D The HDL was NOT a Copper Bessemer design, the HDL was derived from the Duetz MWM632 which was a large stationary spark ignited natural gas/LNG powered engine.

Jul 15, 2011 · The GEVO16 sounds the same as the 7HDL16. The GEVO prime mover is based on the HDL and incorporates design changes that correct the flaws in original HDL design. The only 7HDL16 powered units left would possibly be a few UP AC6000CW’s.

May 1, 2014 · Are there any remaining intact SD90MACs or AC6000CWs operating in the USA with their original 16V265H or 7HDL16 engines, respectively? I know most SD90s were sold, scrapped, or repowered with 710 engines (SD9043MAC), and all the CSX CW60ACs I’ve seen have been repowered with the GEVO-16.

Jan 8, 2021 · Under the hood, lies the GE/Deutz 7HDL16 and its twin 7S1408D turbochargers. Production ran from 1995 to 2001, when most railroads had switched away from experimental high horsepower locomotives to more reliable, standard …

Sep 7, 2019 · CSX repowered their production fleet of AC6000CW’s with 16 cylinder GEVO’s (As did BHP, I believe) to replace the disastrous 7HDL16 they had been constructed with, while the three preproduction prototypes were repowered with 16 cylinder FDL’s just like Union Pacific had installed in their fleet.

Apr 16, 2021 · To solve the problem, GE partnered with Deutz MWM to create a completely new engine called the 7HDL-16 in an effort to produce 6,000 hp. It should be noted that this video only discusses the production version of the AC6000 for CSX, as opposed to the nearly identical “convertible” (FDL-powered) AC4400/6000CW built solely for Union Pacific.

List of engines produced by GE Transportation Systems and GE Jenbacher (GE Energy). Where possible, recent examples of usage are shown. GE GEVO-16, 16-cylinder engine used in locomotives, such as the GE ES59ACi, [6] GE ES58ACi, [6] GE ES57ACi Diesel Locomotives. GE PowerHaul P616, 16-cylinder engine used in GE PowerHaul series locomotives. [9]

ALL GE C30-7 #9220, at Triagem Paulista, Bauru - SP, Brazil. The Dash 7 Series is a line of diesel-electric freight locomotives built by GE Transportation. It replaced the Universal Series in the mid-1970s, and was superseded by the Dash 8 Series in the mid-1980s.

Mar 28, 2022 · This giant is the first and only model to use the 6,000-hp 7HDL-16, which is GE’s first new engine design since the adoption of the successful 7FDL series from Cooper-Bessemer. It should be noted that some locomotives (e.g. steam, turbine, or straight-electric) are more powerful than the AC6000.
