Harry Reid, are you still trying to arrange pork for your birthplace?
Mexico would NOT put up with the crap that is passing for 'law' in California these dahys!
One corn or 20 mules?
Why?
The public has been cajoled into thinking that PUBLIC 'servant' means something else.
There's two Californias. There's the California that extends from the beach to about 15 miles inland. And then there's the rest of the state. Unfortunately, the first group of Californians control everything.
I don’t know how to post a pic.
Hybrid…
So much comes into California ports, it will cause serious issues. Great opportunity for Mexico. Build large port in Ensenada and work on rail line connecting into Union Pacific in Yuma, AZ. Bypass California all together.
The deisel engine is simply a generator driving motor.
So, in essence, it is all electric, just like a tesla. The difference is that while the tesla plugs into a charge staion that is hooked up to a gas or coal or deisel powered eletricity generating plant, the train simply carries a deisel with it, a portable charging station. The embicles wish to cancel the portable charging station that the electric locomotive uses to run it's electric motors.
> Yes, that would be great. But are the power plants generating the electricity also ‘zero emission’? If not, then what’s the point?
In the second link that i gave, it is stated that
“Annual emissions reduced by 250K MTC02...
equivalent to taking 55,000 cars off the road”
(aeemingly, this is only valid if one ascribes CO2 production as a big threat to the environment)
> Where is the electricity for trains going to come from?
I dunno; perhaps from conservation engendered by “conservative” PG&E rate hikes?:

Put solar panels on top of the locomotives. Problem solved.
> Isn’t that how the European trains are powered?
according to the article link below, European railroads are 60% electrified, and the percentage is climbing.
Let California rot on the vine.
Are you sure that this URL address iscorrect?
“according to the article link below, European railroads are 60% electrified, and the percentage is climbing.
Interesting article. I think electric train propulsion with overhead wires is a good idea. The article is worth reading.
The author is a greenie so, for instance, I’m not sure of his claim that truck hauling using battery powered trucks will put a lot of rail lines out of business.
I’d also like to know why there hasn’t been more electrification of our rail lines. The rail transportation industry needs to tell its side of the story.
I have invented the “trans” locomotive:
It’s a physically diesel-electric unit, but identifies as all-electric. The Left will not be able to resist my locomotives without falling headlong into abject transphobia.
