BNSF's new EMD 4 axle AC unit
Author: gouldj

Anyone have an idea about this BB+1 axle will look like? Good to see some BNSF EMD orders for a change.

I've heard nothing of them? Not even a rumor.

Check out the Western Board

And the axle arrangement is B1 - 1B or Bo1-1Bo

With both idlers toward the middle rather than in the center of the truck. This is the same axle arrangement GT46PAC passenger locomotive for Indian Railways.

B1--I think they mean A-A-1, meaning the first 2 are powered, with a trailing idle axle. Opposite for rear truck.
