Alternating current

Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction.

See GMD SW1200MG and Alternating current

Bo-Bo

B-B and Bo-Bo are the Association of American Railroads (AAR) and British classifications of wheel arrangement for railway locomotives with four axles in two individual bogies.

See GMD SW1200MG and Bo-Bo

Electric locomotive

An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor.

See GMD SW1200MG and Electric locomotive

EMD SW1200

An EMD SW1200 is a four-axle diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between January 1954 and May 1966. GMD SW1200MG and EMD SW1200 are b-B locomotives, General Motors Diesel locomotives, Shunting locomotives and Standard gauge locomotives of Canada.

See GMD SW1200MG and EMD SW1200

General Motors Diesel

Motor–generator

A motor–generator (an M–G set) is a device for converting electrical power to another form.

See GMD SW1200MG and Motor–generator

Overhead line

An overhead line or overhead wire is an electrical cable that is used to transmit electrical energy to electric locomotives, electric multiple units, trolleybuses or trams.

See GMD SW1200MG and Overhead line

Pantograph (transport)

A pantograph (or "pan" or "panto") is an apparatus mounted on the roof of an electric train, tram or electric bus to collect power through contact with an overhead line.

See GMD SW1200MG and Pantograph (transport)

Prime mover (locomotive)

In engineering, a prime mover is an engine that converts chemical energy of a fuel into useful work.

See GMD SW1200MG and Prime mover (locomotive)

Volt

The volt (symbol: V) is the unit of electric potential, electric potential difference (voltage), and electromotive force in the International System of Units (SI).

See GMD SW1200MG and Volt

1Co+Co1

Under the British and Imperial classification scheme of locomotive axle arrangements 1Co+Co1 is a classification code for a locomotive wheel arrangement of two eight-wheeled bogies with an articulated inter-bogie connection, each with three axles powered by a separate traction motor per axle and with the fourth non-powered axle in an integral leading pony truck to reduce the axle load.

See GMD SW1200MG and 1Co+Co1
