Diesel-Powered
Diesel-Powered engines are significantly different from Steam Engines. They operate using an Internal Combustion Engine, compared to the Fired-Boiler of the other.
Diesel-Mechanical Locomotives
Point Cost: 1
Manpower: 300
Vehicles: 150
A Diesel–Mechanical Locomotive uses a mechanical transmission in a fashion similar to that employed in most road vehicles. This type of transmission is generally limited to low-powered, low speed shunting (switching) locomotives. They have similar looks to a Steam Locomotive, having the jackshift on the main wheels. Diesel-Mechanical Locomotives can pull a maximum of six to eight traincars.
One Factory can produce one unit in one IRL week.

Light Diesel-Electrical Locomotives
Point Cost: 1
Manpower: 200
Vehicles: 100
In a light diesel–electric locomotive, the diesel engine drives an electrical DC generator, the output of which provides power to the traction motors that drive the locomotive. There is no mechanical connection between the diesel engine and the wheels. Light Diesel-Electrical Locomotives can pull a maximum of ten to twelve traincars.

Moderate Diesel-Electrical Locomotives
Point Cost: 1
Manpower: 150
Vehicles: 50
In a moderate diesel–electric locomotive, the diesel engine drives an electrical AC alternator-rectifier, the output of which provides power to the traction motors that drive the locomotive. There is no mechanical connection between the diesel engine and the wheels. Moderate Diesel-Electrical Locomotives can pull a maximum of fifteen to twenty traincars.

Heavy Diesel-Electrical Locomotives
Point Cost: 1
Manpower: 40
Vehicles: 10
In a heavy diesel–electric locomotive, the diesel engine drives an electrical AC alternator-rectifier, the output of which provides power to the traction motors that drive the locomotive. There is no mechanical connection between the diesel engine and the wheels. Heavy Diesel-Electrical Locomotives can pull a maximum of thirty to thirty-five traincars.
Four Factories can produce one unit in two IRL weeks.

Light Diesel-Hydraulic Locomotives
Point Cost: 1
Manpower: 100
Vehicles: 50
Light Diesel–Hydraulic Locomotives use one or more torque converters, in combination with reduction gears, with a mechanical final drive to convey the power from the diesel engine to the wheels. They are the reduced version, allowing them to operate on smaller / tighter tracks. Light Diesel-Hydraulics Locomotives can pull a maximum of twelve to fifteen traincars.

Heavy Diesel-Hydraulic Locomotives
Point Cost: 1
Manpower: 80
Vehicles: 20
Heavy Diesel–Hydraulic Locomotives use one or more torque converters, in combination with gears, with a mechanical final drive to convey the power from the diesel engine to the wheels. They are the full-power version, allowing them to haul heavier freight at the expense of needing larger turning radii. Heavy Diesel-Hydraulics Locomotives can pull a maximum of twenty to twenty-five traincars.

B-Units
Point Cost: 1
Manpower: 0
Vehicles: 25
A B-Unit is a locomotive unit which does not have a driving cab or crew compartment, and must therefore be controlled from another, coupled locomotive with a driving cab (an A unit). The terms booster unit and cabless are also used. They add extra power to an engine without using a second locomotive. They can only be used by other diesel locomotives. B-Units add an extra ten traincars to the capacity of a locomotive.
