EMD DH1

The EMD DH1 was an experimental diesel-hydraulic switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in May 1951.[1] It was powered by a pair of small diesel engines suspended under the frame, driving through a pair of Allison torque converter transmissions to the inside wheels on each truck. These inside wheels were substantially smaller than the outside wheels on each truck. One example exists in Clinton, Michigan as of 2020.
