Peter, I visit the Bombardier website a few minutes ago. In the ALP-46 drawing you see parts from the traction rods. Under locomotive parts - trucks - you will find the also GE offered Blue Tiger. There you see the rods better at the drawing. The Blue Tiger was built in Kassel by Adtranz. That plant was opend in the 1850´s as the Henschel Works. The most inovative locomotive work in Germany for the highspeed market from 1930 to 1990. In the 1980´s Krupp in Essen become the owner, named it Krupp-Henschel. Then comes Damiler Benz (Daimler Chrysler was later) and named the railway segment Adtranz. The name Henschel becomes history. And today the plant is only a little part in the big Bombardier concern. Today, there built a few hundred people locomotives together from parts that are built in Poland and other lowcost countrys. 30 years ago a few thousand people built complete engines. That´s progress! The new Metra engines use rebuilt EMD 645 diesel. The new crankshaft were made in Poland!
