Abstract
In a diesel-electric locomotive, maximum speed of the diesel engine is automatically limited as a function of the temperature of the engine lubricating oil so as to prevent damage to the engine, to the engine-driven lube oil pump, and to the external components of the engine lube oil system when the oil is relatively cool and hence very viscous.
