Super Power Tsunami®DCC Decoder
The Southern Pacific
and the KM Hydraulics by Robert J. Zenk
In 1959 the Southern Pacific Railroad found itself in need of higher horsepower diesel locomotives to move their increasing freight traffic across the Sierras.
When American locomotive manufacturers could not meet the SP’s requirements they began looking overseas. In Munich Germany they found that Krauss Maffei might be the answer. KM was producing diesel-hydraulic locomotives rated at 4000 horsepower.

Tis is the story of building these locomotives in Germany and operating them in the United States.
