Anybody know how many motors an SD70Mac has? I mean ALL of them,

Bob Pilcher was fond of saying that a Y-6 had eighteen or nineteen engines

term motors better then units. I often here the pocky dispatcher

say "Tie your horses up and lock the doors" 
Of course that works on NS I don,t know how that would workout

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.

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).
