A deisel-electric locomotive's drive train goes from its diesel engine to a generator, then to an (or is it some?) electric motor(-s). <br /> <br />How is that final electric stage of its propulsion arranged? Is there one, large traction motor to propel the whole thing? Or more than one, but smaller? Are they one per axle? One per truck? How do they usually do it?
