Choo-Choo Trains on Energy Crunch

The Sierra Railroad is planning to use diesel train locomotives to produce power for California. Each of the 48 engines are expected to produce 2.1 megawatts of power for a thousand hours each year. A key advantage to this plan is that since the PowerTrains are mobile, they can be taken to the areas that need power the most, so it doesn’t have to be routed across the state through the power grid
