B40-8
The GE B40-8 is a four-axle diesel-electric locomotive that combines high road horsepower with a more compact and maneuverable locomotive configuration.
Powered by the GE 7-FDL16 engine and rated at approximately 4,000 horsepower, the B40-8 was developed as part of the Dash 8 family for freight applications requiring substantial road power from a four-axle platform.
B40-8 Platform
- GE four-axle diesel-electric locomotive
- 4,000-horsepower class
- Compact road-power configuration for varied rail applications
The four-axle arrangement distinguishes the B40-8 from larger six-axle road locomotives and can make it suitable for regional freight and other operations where maneuverability is important.
