Thanks, I understand. In addition to adjusting the generator/alternator, can they also adjust the output of the diesel? In other words, can 893 rpm produce, say, 1000hp when it is given less fuel und

In essence, yes. Whether it is running at a constant speed or is being controlled by the throttle all diesel-electric engines operate pretty much the same way. The governor supplies fuel to the diese

Yes, thanks, one more thing. Air compressors. It seems to me they would consume a lot of horsepower making compressed air whether it was needed or not. Do they have a clutch, or something, that disen

Air compressors do have a clutch. Increasing engine rpm will increase their output which is why in cold weather charging an empty trainline might be done in the third notch with the generator field s

Thanks. I think I am now a fully qualified engineer. Actually, I did get to ride in an F40PH cab once. From Lake Louise to Banff (somewhere around there) on The Canadian. I was kind of amazed at how
