What are the field divert things?

I showed this on 324 remeber?

Anyway for examples 37s, They take a divert at aproximently 25mph and i think 2 more at a faster speed , i believes it gives more power but on im not to sure, the link gives more info

Field diverts are basically a way of bringing the electrical field down in order to increase the speed.

Usually a locomotive has about 2 or 3 stages of field divert or more commonly I'd presume known as field weakening.

Think of it as the locomotive's multi-speed gearbox, however totally electrical
