5000 HIP. Locomotive
To Haul Florida Fruit

PHILADELPHIA W.D - T h e
most powerful diesel locomotive
ever built in one unit is ready for
fast freight runs down the Eastern
coast. The streamlined giant packs
5000 horsepower in one cab.
The locomotive was built by
Baldwin Locomotive Works in
Philadelphia for the Seaboard Air
Line railway and will be used to
rush fruit from Florida to north
ern markets. It has a top speed
Of 120 miles per hour but will not
exceed IS mph on its runs.
The locomotive features two
supercharged engines in one cab.
Previously, in locomotives of more
than 1000 horsepower it was nee
essary to procide more than one
unit. The one-unit locomotive will
be easier to turn around, shorter
in overall length and with lower
weight on each wheen.
