Abstract
A description is given of the FL9/AC dual-mode locomotive developed for operation on the Metro-North Commuter Railroad. The locomotive (a modified FL9) was remanufactured to have: gate-turn-off (GTO) thyristor technology instead of silicon-controlled rectifiers; a 12-cylinder turbocharged engine; a single electrically driven air compressor; a blended dynamic brake; provision for regenerative braking; a new cab signal system; and an improved air-brake system. Equipment selection for the FL9 is described and details of construction are presented.<>
