About the KM 4000 locomotive:

The KM 4000 locomotives were originally built as experimental units for Southern Pacific and started as nearly identical machines. Over time, they were modified extensively, resulting in noticeable differences between individual locomotives.

The D&RGW 4001 version reflects one of these modified configurations, adapted to specific operational requirements. With their unusual design and high power output, these locomotives represent a fascinating chapter in the development of American diesel traction.
