I am an railroad fan/amateur from Turkey and I wish to express my great appreaciation to GE having produced these Evolution Series Diesel-Electric locomotives. I am deeply impressed with state-of-the-art technology and cleaner-environmental concerns combined.

I am also happy for the collaboration of the General Electric with a turkish company Tulomsas, for the production and exportation of these Evo-series locomotives in Turkey. Hard to wait to see Evolution locomotives on turkish railroads!

thank you and best wishes.

I am GE’s product manager for the new Evolution Model ES44C4 diesel-electric locomotive.
In response to: “How many freight cars and load capacity can the new locomotive haul?”
Several factors impact the tonnage that one locomotive can pull such as the degree of incline, weather, speed, weight of the locomotive, etc. For example, one Model ES44C4 locomotive that weight 416,000 lbs and has a Continuous Tractive Effort of 105,000 lbs with 27% track adhesion operating on a 1% grade can pull 31 cars with 143 tons per car for a total of 4,433 tons.

I hope GE helps develop the railroad system here in the Philippines. This mode of transportation is widely used by commuters headed to rural areas and back. However, even though widely used, it is not being developed and not well-funded by the government.

How about electric trolley cars? GE seams to be concerned about the environment and the future. Why not produce electric cars and trolleys. GE could bring the world a cleaner environment. Do what GM refused to do at every time in history. Please GE, bring my children a cleaner world. Build some plants and get the electric car going down the road, as it was in 1998. The movie "Who killed the electric car" shows you what worked. Build it, I will buy.
