ES44 C4 truck         
The BNSF 6776 is an ES44 C4. The trucks are special in that the front and rear axles have traction motors, but the center axle does not. In order to get maximum tractive effort, the cam mechanism on the center axle raises the wheels off the track when starting to pull a heavy load.
