Here's the data from Wikipedia: The SC-44 Charger locomotive is powered by a 4,400 hp (3,300 kW) Cummins 16 cylinder QSK95 4-stroke high speed diesel engine, which is designed to meet EPA Tier IV emissions standards that took effect in 2015. Top speed in service as per PRIIA specifications is 125 mph (201 km/h). The overall design and layout of the locomotive is shared heavily with its electric counterparts in Europe (the Vectron) and the United States (the ACS-64), diesel equipment aside. Power to the AC traction motors is delivered from the main alternator via four IGBT inverters (one per motor), with head-end power being supplied by a static inverter off of the main prime mover. The locomotive also features dynamic braking with regenerative capability, allowing the locomotive to divert power generated by dynamic braking away from the resistor grids to HEP and on board locomotive auxiliary power demands.
