Actually, all our trains are electric! At least Diesel electric, where the diesel engine runs a generator, which powers the electric motor. Just like our Navy's nuclear aircraft carriers and submarines! I have wondered why car companies haven't done this for a few decades! Think about it, the generator would be easier to make low emissions, and they could easily get 200mpg or more. Cheers, Dennis
