>>1310914>Little Joes were originally built for use in the Soviet Union fyi.I know, but the design principles are strictly American. Much like the Soviet class VL19 locomotives which are derivatives of American-built class S10 (pic related).
I've picked Joes randomly as an example out of several post-war designs. Great Northern's W-1 also had two rigid frames with traction motors mounted onto 8 axles in total. There's more.
