  1. Andy has it correct, they are all electric.

    There are a couple different ways to get electricity to the axle mounted motors but the basic propulsion is more or less the same.

    Diesel powered onboard generators, or lines, either above ground or mounted onthe ground between the running rails provide the electricity.


  2. They use either diesel-electric which is a huge diesel engine driving a generator or straight electric.Straight electric is most common.It draws the power from either a third rail or overhead power lines to power it.Whichever means of power is used the electricity is fed to traction motors to turn the wheels.A traction motor is an electric motor with a pinion gear on the shaft that drives a ring gear on the trains wheel axle.
