2012年4月9日 · For our viewing pleasure today, I present my sojourn into the cab of one of Amtrak's P42DC General Electric Genesis locomotives, #100. This engine is one of a hundred purchased by Amtrak and built in 1997, featuring 4,250 …

The P42DC, encompassing 4,250 horsepower, and 2,525 when supplying power to a train, where the HEP is activated at 900 RPM. The P32AC-DM, rated at 3,200 horsepower with zero HEP, delivers 2,900 horsepower to the traction motors when under full HEP load.

The power comes from the proven 7FDL with 16 cylinders. The alternator for the head-end power depends on the engine speed to deliver the required 60 Hertz. Since the prime mover has to run at a speed of 900 rpm when the alternator is switched on, the P42DC, for example, then only has a gross output of 3,850 hp.
