How long would it take for 4400 hp to get a modest sized train up to 125mph? Sounds underpowered to actually reach that speed, unless they intend to double up on locomotives. It also doesn't look very aerodynamic, for that speed I'd think compound curves at the front are required. The original modern diesel locomotive (high, single-headlight nose, 2 smallish windows) has better aero, and also a more coherent design. |
