How many diesel locomotives would it take to power the fuel turbopumps on a Saturn V booster?

30.. I love Astronaut stuff.. It also burn something like 15 tons of fuel a second. (hence the need for such a powerful fuel pump)

I had about 12 different Saturn V models, tons of xeroxes out of books from the library (the only late 70's early 80's xeroxes..)

I also know the names of the command and lunar modules of each Apollo mission and can (usually) recall who was on each one.
