Frequently Moving Goalpost

Fortescue Metals Group AC44C6M #108, rebuilt from BNSF C44-9W #4795, leads a train out of Boodarie, Western Australia. Of note is the larger radiator section akin to the ES44 units found on competing Pilbara region iron ore miners Rio Tinto and Roy Hill.

Notes

(1) Could also be ordered with GE's Steerable truck.

(2) These locomotives received GEVO electronics when rebuilt. It is assumed that these can obtain the same adhesion factors as their new-build counterparts. 46.8% and 47.4% are the other two I've been able to find for the ES/ET44ACs.

(3) AC electrical gear is three-phase. Values shown here is for a single phase; the value used by RLC PT2 should be 3 times the value shown. This is done by typing "*3" (without quotes) after the number value when editing the locomotive config in the E2 editor. TM values shown are for a GE B22 which is similar to the B132Bs found on these locomotives.
