The GE ES59ACi, also known as the HXN5 (Chinese: 和谐内5) or China Mainline Locomotive, is a type of diesel locomotive built by GE Transportation and CRRC Qishuyan for use on freight trains from Harbin to Qiqihar and Mudanjiang in China.[1]
In October 2005, China Railway ordered 700 ES59ACi Evolution Series locomotives from GE Transportation and CRRC Qishuyan for delivery in 2008–2009.[2] Two have been built at Erie, Pennsylvania, in 2008; the rest were assembled by Qishuyan at Changzhou in 2008–2010. The first Chinese made loco was unveiled on 25 November 2008.[1] The initial order was reduced from 700 to an actual 300 units produced.
The locomotive is equipped with a GE GEVO-16 engine, with an output of 6,250 horsepower (4,660 kW).
