UP 6936
This model, custom built in 1969-1971 for UP, is the only such locomotive in service still and she cruises around California in modern times.
She is the world's largest d/e loco ever as far as I know and the only one with a big see-through hole in her side.
I know of no other diesel engine with as many as 4-axle trucks to boot.
She has double diesel motors on board but that's not an exclusive feature of this engine.
Think of her as a diesel-ized "Big Boy".
