Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The GE 45-ton switcher is a 4-axle diesel locomotive built by GE between 1940 and 1956. The locomotive was equipped with two 150 hp Cummins diesel engines, each driving a generator which, in turn, drove one of the two traction motors, one per truck. In early models, the second axle on each truck was driven with side rods. Later models had chain drives inside the trucks that served the same purpose. A traditional train air brake was optional, but all came with two compressors and a straight-air independent brake. The cabs were spacious for the size of the locomotive, and both the engineer's seat and the fireman's seat were raised two feet on platforms, so as to afford better views during switching.
