[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by toyomantrains Just read in another mag (sorry Kalmbach - I subscribe to many, but YOURS is the best!) about Railpowers hybrid locos. One signifigance of interest was , on one test, the goat pulled a 1500 trailing-ton train for 2 hours at 62 mph with the gen-set off. They mentioned the possibility of passenger service with this performance- what do you think? Orders have been placed for Texas and California and CN. Railpower founder Frank Donnolly drives a Toyota Prius with a logo on the side that says 'my other hybrid is a locomotive'. I would like to see Trains do a follow-up on this emeging technology. [/quote] I've seen that guy driving around a couple of times, his car really sticks out. The Green Goat is built right here in the lower mainland (New Westminster) about a half hour from where I live. Cool thing to see, looks like it will most likely start to become quite a common sight in yards across North America. Great on Fuel, but it really isn't all that much quieter than a normal diesel.
