In this video, we look at an overview of how a diesel locomotive works, for an audience that knows little to nothing about them. Note that my experience with these is primarily with EMD type locomotives in the USA from my time at BNSF, but I know a bit about GE too. And for you guys who really work on these things and really know your stuff my background is as a mechanical engineer, and I got to take the mechanical courses offered about the locomotives, but never the electrical... so, the electrical side is still a bit of a mystery for me. Maybe shed some light in the comments. :)
