Well it has been done in the auto industry so why not the rail industry. These new hybrid locomotive swill primarily be used to replace idling switcher locomotives in Texas. It really is a good idea. The locomotives have large battery packs and a small 250 HP gen set. The engine only comes on when the batts need charging. They are going to replace most of the switchers here in Texas with hybrids. Is this Good or Bad?
