AC6000 Diesel Locomotives One of the most powerful locomotives on the modern rails, the AC6000 is equipped with a 6,000 horsepower, four-stroke engine developed jointly by the German manufacturer Deutz MWM and General Electric. These mammoth 76-foot long diesels acquired by Union Pacific and CSX carry 5,500 gallons of fuel and forty cubic feet of sand. Built for efficiency as well as power, the AC6000 meets modern emissions standards and consumes less fuel than some of its predecessors. It also comes equipped with an onboard microprocessor which, via satellite, can communicate important maintenance and repair alerts to railroad service stations. For 2008, Lionel offers the newly-tooled AC6000 diesel locomotive in Union Pacific and CSX liveries.
