Ed, There is more hope for your MK1500D's. There was a article in the Chicago Tribune (Sunday, April 6, 2003) Business section. In this article they talked about the battery operated Green Goat made by Railpower Technologies. What I found most interesting in the article was the last paragraph When Michael E. Iden Union Pacific's director of locomotive engineering stated "The Omaha rail giant will, out of necessity, be buying hundreds of rail-yard goats in coming years." He also stated all new yard units must be fuel efficent and envirmental friendly. Maybe they will buy a couple hundred MK1500D's if they work as good as everyone claims!! <br /> TIM ARGUBRIGHT <br /> Chicago Tribune, Sunday, April 6, 2003 Section 5 Business (Pages 1 and 6) Titled "Yard locomotives try to clean up act" by James P. Miller
