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. They are equivalent to the B′B′ and Bo′Bo′ classifications in the UIC system. The arrangement of two, two-axled, bogies is a common wheel arrangement for modern electric and diesel locomotives. Bo-Bo Bo-Bo is the UIC indication of a wheel arrangement for railway vehicles with four axles in two individual bogies, all driven by their own traction motors. It is a common wheel arrangement for modern electric and diesel-electric locomotives, as well as power cars in electric multiple units. Most early electric locomotives shared commonalities with the steam engines of their time. These features included side rods and frame mounted driving axles with leading and trailing axles. The long rigid wheelbase and the leading and trailing axles reduced cornering stability and increased weight. The Bo-Bo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Since the class is primarily used as a freight locomotive the class is commonly referred to as SNCF BB460000.The prefix "4" used by FRET for freight locomotives SNCF made an initial order for 160 locomotives in 2004. The manufacturer's designation is GA 1000 AS. Two further machines have been ordered (2009) by Egenie of France. The class is not to be confused with the SNCF BB60000 prototypes from the 1950s and 1960s. History At the end of the 1990s SNCF was faced with a diesel locomotive fleet of which the larger part was older than 30 years, and thus fuel-consuming and expensive in maintenance. Some locomotive classes were re-engined (BB66400 in BB69400, CC72000 in CC72100) to overcome some of the problems on the short term. In the longer term however, new locomotives had to be ordered as also the re-engined locomotives would r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
