A locomotive may have a plurality of drag reducing devices attached to a longitudinal end of the locomotive adjacent a walkway of the locomotive. Each drag reducing device may be positioned at an angle with respect to a centerline of the locomotive so as to reduce drag on the locomotive. The drag reducing devices may be mounted to a handrail included on the walkway using separate or single assemblies. Drag reducing devices may also be provided on an opposite or back end of the locomotive, as well as retrofit to a face of the locomotive to reduce drag. Angled winglets may be provided on the drag reducing devices to assist in inducing air flow. |
