                 2/0 AWG
           325 strands/parellel
     Diameter of Conductor: 0.269" (copper)
     Insulator Build:  0.094" (94mil)
     Rated Current:  298A

If your not paying for the copper weight then this wire will work
fine. Locomotive cable is the cable used to run the DC power from
the locomotive diesel/generator set to the traction motors on the
axles.
