Mike Woodruff General B-B is the wheel arrangement, 100/100 is total weight/weight on drivers in thousands of pounds (so this unit was likely ballasted to 50 tons, even though it's a "45 tonner" configuration), the "2 GE 733" indicates the presence of two GE model 733 traction motors. 2/20/2006 1:18:28 PM
