  1. Try posting this question in the "rail" section. There are many very knowledgeable contributors there who provide detailed answers to all sorts of railroad questions. I'm sure one of them would have the information you're looking for.


  2. Well, freight train engines are MOVED, not powered by an ELECTRIC MOTOR....that electric motor is POWERED by a diesel engine.  Whereas the autos and trucks on the highways and byways are vice-versa.   mathematically i dont know the specifics of how much diesel it takes to power that electric motor for so long.
