It would not make sense to have each generator wired to a single truck. And I fell pretty sure that the throttle did not have two completely separate sets of wiring. With only one engine, you would not want to have power to only one of the trucks. That would have made it impossible to start a heavy train because of wheel slippage. With four motors getting power from only one engine, you could at least start the train but you would have a much lower top speed.
