I' ve herd of CF7' s slugs, mules, cows, calfs, and goats but a " Green Goat ". <br />In the October issue of Model Railroader Carl Swanson wrote an aritical on the <br />Green Goat. Green for environmentally freindly, and goat is railroader slang for yard engine. Is this locomotive the future of railroading? <br /> <br /><font color="green"><b>GREEN GOAT AT A GLANCE</b></font id="green"> <br /> <br /><b>Horsepower: </b>2,000 <br /><b>Starting tractive effort: </b>87,000 lbs <br /><b>Maximum speed: </b>20 mph <br /><b>Maximum weight: </b>280,000 lbs <br /><b>Length: </b>52' - 6" <br /><b>Width: </b>10' - 6" <br /><b>Height: </b>14' -6" <br /><b>Fuel capacity: </b>2,100 gallons <br /><b>Sand capacity: </b>36 cubic feet <br /><b>Battery capacity: </b>1,200 amp-hours <br /><b>Estimated battery life: </b>10 years <br /><b>Engine-generator set output: </b>90 kW <br /><b>Diesel engine: </b>130 hp by Isuzu <br /><b>*locomotive was built on EMD GP9 frame*</b> <br /> <br />***Information from Carl Swanson's artical Will the "Green Goat" revolutionize railroading? in the October issue of Model Railroader*** <br /> <br />[:)][:)][:)]
