just a little tidbit, when they had a big ice storm in Canada a few years back, CN or CP (i think it was CP) donated the use of a few of their engines as generators until the power lines could get put back up. <br />As far as the class 1's giving up engines to electricty generation goes, most of them don't have enough spare engines around to do much good. The situation out west is far to big for a few engines to have much effect. Also, it probably wouldn't pay to take engines out of service to do this. The economics of the situation probably aren't as good as one might think, otherwise they already would be doing it.
