Not realy new, but I expect to hear of advancements in the electrical side of the diesels. For example, the hybrid cars coming out right now are capturing the lost energy in braking by charging batteries when you use the brakes. A system which captures energy instead of losing it in the dynamic brakes may be developed. Or the electronics may continue to be improved because of advances in computers. Who knows? I think it will be improved electrical performance. I wonder if you could get a benefit from a battery car behind the locos and solar collectors on the tops of box cars? I wouldn't be surprised if a new engine were built that could go from diesel power to overhead electric on the fly. An engine like this could operate on diesel in the country and overhead electric in the urban areas. Anything but Nuclear Powered engines. - Ed
