<p>A method of manufacturing a monocoque locomotive (49). The locomotive includes internal component subassemblies (S32) and a locomotive body (49) including an underframe (72) and an upper body (50). The method includes the steps of constructing the underframe for the monocoque locomotive, constructing an upper body structure separately from the underframe, and then joining the upper body structure with the underframe. The camber of the underframe of the upper body structure may be set within a fixture (62). Further, internal component subassemblies may be fixed within the locomotive body before joining the upper body structure with the underframe.</p> |
