Just to confuse things more, theoretically, the diesel motor on the diesel-electric locomotive is properly called the ‘prime mover’ as it supplies mechanical work to the generator/alternator , then the electricity to the electrical transmission components and drive motors on the locomotive.

"The times they are 'a changin'".



Well, actually, already changed. I heard them called motors for years on the yard. But Jimmy is right, in that they were most commonly referred to as units. Then I worked with one conductor who almost always called them .....what else?....."Diesels".

You are right Richard. Back when I was in freight, many engineers, one in particular named Charlie Linkous always referred to the consist as motors.

“Motors?” MOTORS?



Where I come from, electrics were called motors. Diesels were not.

A couple of interesting motors arrived at Bristol today. #3522 was 2nd on 819; 8734 led 22A (with a much cleaner, newer 1027 following).
