Checking "GE Locomotives" by Brian Solomon, GE bought the rights to produce the Cooper-Bessemer Diesel in the late 50's, and at that time they expected that with developement it could eventually produce about 4000 hp. At 4400 hp, the FDL (originally Cooper-Bessemer design) had reached its limit. GE teamed with Duetz MWM (pronounced DOYTS) to design the HDL engine, a four stroke, 45 deg. angle V, rated speed 1050 rpm. The AC6000CW has a larger carbody and larger radiators. The UP wanted the AC6000CW, but could not wait for the HDL engine, so purchased an order of AC6000CW's with a 4400hp FDL engine and dubbed them C44/60AC. A little trivia: Duetz was one of many original licensees authorized by Rudolf Diesel to produce diesel engines.
