Well, this idea really got off the ground. So far, no railroads other than the FEC has bought into this technology. And they have to tote an LNG fuel tender with the locomotives to keep them fueled. Just another overall locomotive idea failure; not unlike the repeated failed attempts at putting Caterpillar engine blocks in locomotives.

IF the last standing "Class 1"s in the 1990s AFTER THEIR CONSOLIDATION" had "eaten the costs" and "wired up" they'd be right now using 12,000 horsepower electric locomotives like those used now in China and Russia and Sweden instead of being stuck with the 4,400 horsepower GE and EMD diesels.
@EMDFAST8 ай бұрын
US locomotives use the force plus their weight to drag, European locomotives are much lighter, even though they are electric and have more force, they cannot drag as much tonnage because they are light, in the US it was discovered that a diesel locomotive is ideally between 4000/4400 hp per locomotive, more than that amount of hp becomes uneconomical, that is why that amount of hp for each locomotive, in the US they have had 6000 hp diesel locomotives but they were retired because they were very expensive to operate, an electric locomotive that draws its energy from a catenary will always have more strength but it will also be more expensive to operate because it involves a lot of infrastructure along the track, that is why freight trains in the United States are diesel, the heaviest freight trains in the world are in the United States. and Australia, both with American diesel locomotives

@@averageguy7136LMAO Diesels have been on the rails for nearly a century. I can find no evidence that anything of the sort has ever happened, namely on D&RGW, the "Mainline thru the Rockies" They had plenty of accidents, and in none of those did diesel fuel from the locomotive ignite. In addition, diesel has a far higher flash point than gasoline; and it doesn't ignite as easily. Did you ever hear about ICE cars and trucks burning someone's entire house down? Because I hear stories about EVs burning people's homes down at least twice a month. You also strike me as the type that cares about pollution, and I do too. But let's get the facts straight: L-ion batteries produce massive amounts of pollution during their production. Child labor is often used to acquire the rare earth minerals needed for said batteries. And where do you think the electricity for the batteries comes from? Odds are decent, if not highly likely, that it comes from fossil fuels. Maybe put some thought into the next snarky comment you leave.

I get this to an extent, but why not just use a cab that is being put onto NA units, this unit does not look as safe crash standard-wise, and I would think the development costs of a cab for sole use by one entity would outweigh the cost of using one of the cabs already designed. I could be way off so if I am someone explain to me.
