Basically it is a derivative of the Eurosprinter locs like the one in my signature. Most Eurosprinter 4 axle locs are between 8000-9500hp, with the IORE having two transformers rather than the one. here is a good picture... http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/se/private/MTAB/P1170079.jpg But for US loc... I like the GG1 for a classic, but the Acela operated by Amtrak is my favorite... if it is indeed American.. click here for a cool clip of how fast it can go... http://www.trainweb.org/railpix/video/Acela1.mpg
