The Great Northern Railway's class W-1 comprised two electric locomotives with AAR B-D+D-B wheel arrangements. The locomotives were used on the electrified portion of the railroad, from Wenatchee, Washington to Skykomish, Washington, including the Cascade Tunnel. The W-1 motor-generator locomotives were built at General Electric's Erie works in 1947. Numbered 5018 and 5019, they were the largest single-unit electric locomotives used in North America. The 5018 and 5019 were retired in 1956, with the 5019 scrapped in 1959. The 5018 was sold to the Union Pacific, who used its body and running gear as part of an unsuccessful experimental coal burning gas turbine-electric locomotive #80. ==References== * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GN W-1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
