Please enlighten me in my lack of understanding of the hybrid loco. In the auto industry, a hybrid means tha either the internal combustion engine OR the electric motor OR both can provide power to the drive wheels.-which means either/or can power the wheels. The common diesel-electric loco has a prime-mover which runs a generator which provides power to the electric motors. From what I've read about the loco-hybrid is that it's still a diesel engine driving a generator but maintaining a constant 'potential' on a bank of batteries which poweres the wheels. How is that a 'hybrid'?- Am I missing something or is this loco only being powered by one force?
