The largest motorcycle in the world.

What is the largest motorcycle in the world? I think many people want to know about this problem. It doesn't matter if I don't know. Let me tell you something. The following is the biggest locomotive-related content I have compiled. Welcome to read! ~

The world's largest locomotive, EMD DDA40X diesel locomotive, is an experimental locomotive with 6,600 HP (4.9 MW) dual diesel generators developed by General Dynamics Company of the United States in the 1970s, which is used for the Union Pacific Railway. This car is also nicknamed "Centennial Brother" or "Big Jack". It uses two AC6000CW 3,300 horsepower (2.5 MW) units, which is the largest and longest diesel-electric locomotive in the world.

EMD DDA40X produced 47 locomotives in 1969- 197 1 year, all of which belong to Union Pacific Railway Company (UP). It is the largest diesel locomotive in the world and the largest single locomotive! The total weight of the locomotive is 26 1 ton and the total length is 30 meters, which is also the longest single locomotive. The locomotive adopts two EMD 16 cylinder 645E3 diesel engines with a total power of 6600 HP! ! ! (Note: the weight of each EMD 645E3 diesel engine is 15t) UP 6909 DDA40X, produced in 1969, and the photo was taken in 1983.

The biggest oversize of this car is the use of 4-axle bogies, each of which weighs 40 tons after adding traction motors! ! ! (Combined with Pacific 6938, 197 1 year, shot in 2004, quite long, 30 meters! ! ! )

1973 In California, this car has only been in operation for 2 years.

Its height is 5 meters, which is 20-30 cm higher than that of similar locomotives (4.5-4.7 meters for ordinary locomotives). Obstacle eliminator (shovel plate) has been removed.

DDA40X is now renamed DD40X, which was merged into the reconnection freight train in 1970s and 1980s, and now it is changed to the passenger train-Union Pacific in the early 1990s. UP 3936 is now a passenger locomotive, which was produced in the early 1970s. The photo was taken on 20 10.

The largest locomotive in the world has not been retired, such as Union Pacific and 10 passenger locomotives. DDA40X now mainly operates routes in Utah, California and Colorado.

No.6936, who just turned 40 this year, was driving in Price Canyon, Utah, and was shot on 20 1 1.

6936, somewhere in Missouri, shot in 2008 (now renamed DD40X).

UP 6936 drives out of a tunnel in Price Canyon (this tunnel is estimated to be nearly a hundred years old), 20 1 1 year.

This picture reflects the picture that DDA40X began to develop into passenger transport in the early 1990 s; UP 6936 was driving in Corinton, Utah, photographed by Blair Kooistra, 65438+August 2 1, 990.

UP 6945, larger than the later General Electric C30-7 locomotive in Lagrande, Oregon, was taken in August 1984.

69 14, 1984

UP's first DDA40X was produced in April of 1969, with the number of 6900. This photo was taken in Omaha, Nebraska, 1969, when the locomotive just left the factory! !

The world's largest steam locomotive-big boy (no. Up 4023), and the largest diesel locomotive DDA40X 6900 introduces big boys for free!

Cab number 69 16, taken in 2005 (you can see that there are two engine tachometers on the far right of the picture, because there are two 16 cylinder 645E3 diesel engines; What is the top joystick? Inverter? Is that a motorcycle below? Gear lever? (EMD locomotive ***8), the yellow part is locomotive braking.

The most special one is UP 6925, produced in June, 1970. It stopped scrapping in 2004 and has never been dismantled. 20 1 1 is still in place. UP 6925 has been parked here for 7 years, and it is estimated that it was abandoned here. Shot on 20 1 1.

DDA40X belongs to Union Pacific Railway Company and is the oldest railway in American history.
