Dear Ted <br /> <br />Simplified answer is that diesel engine drives a generator or alternator to make electricity. The electric power goes to the traction motor where it turns a shaft with a toothed gear on one end. That gear engages a toothed ring gear just inside of the wheel on one side. The ring gear is rigidly mounted to the axle so the axle turns. The wheels are rigidly mounted to the axle, so the wheels turn. <br /> <br />Mac
