Railroad co’s should just rename their diesel locomotives as “EV locomotives with a diesel generator”. It’s an accurate description of what they are anyway.

Nope... it’s even easier..

electric locomotive with a coal car like car behind it with the generator and a really thick extension cord between them.

There, my locomotive is 100% electric.

or just stop at the state line and tell CA to figure the rest out.

I seriously doubt that the people in California have the capacity to understand that they are Diesel Electric. Just Hybrids without the Battery.

[bigbob]

Tell CA they’ve all been replaced with Prius-like hybrids and it will all be OK.

[AFreeBird]

So a hybrid.

Thank you for referencing that article Tell It Right.

Your statement brought the following thread to mind.

Largest EV Charging Station In the World is Powered By Diesel-Powered Generators (10.3.23)

Since the states have never expressly constitutionally given the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to police the environment, consider that the EPA, run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats, is unconstitutional and shouldn't exist imo.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

California's CARB is likewise illegal under California's constitution imo, CARB also run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats.

"Article IV, California Constitution

Section 1

The legislative power of this State is vested in the California Legislature which consists of the Senate and Assembly, the people reserving to themselves the powers of initiative and referendum."

Non-popularly elected government bureaucrats in state and federal governments are examples of career, crook lawmakers who are not taking responsibility for the legislative powers that voter are trusting them with imo, most federal domestic bureaucrat policies now based on stolen state powers imo.

Hybrid…

Let's see, they are all electric, for the drive wheels, with a electric motor on each drive axle.

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.
