Each locomotive when operating at abalancing speed of approximately 56 h. is capable of hauling a train of The locomotive has two articulatedtrucks each having six wheels, four ofwhich are drivers. These two trucks areconnected together with an articulationlink, so that no draw bar pull is trans- five steel passenger trail cars, weighing mitted through the cab. The cab is sup-.
