This documentary looks at how the GE C40-8W exposed a logistics problem railroads weren’t ready for. The locomotive itself was efficient for its size, but its 4,000-horsepower output pushed fuel consumption and throughput beyond what late-1980s fueling infrastructure could handle. By examining duty cycles, fueling rates, yard bottlenecks, and delivery constraints, the film shows how railroads discovered that scaling power without scaling logistics breaks the math. The C40-8W didn’t fail mechanically, it forced the industry to rethink fuel planning at a system-wide level.
