  1. Railpower is who currently makes the hybrid locomotives in North America.  They have several versions available as well as a Gen-Set version which uses 3 small diesel engines.  The stock symbol for them on the TSX is P.  National Railway Equipment also makes Gen-Set locomotives, but I do not know if they make hybrids.


  2. The other big loco manufacturers are GM and GE... Both are working on hybrids of some sort.

  3. GM sold off the Electro-Motive Division, and is now its own company. They have used 2-cycle diesel engines in their locomotives since the 1930's. They are currently working on improving their 4-cycle engine design (the 265H), and preparing gen-set locos.

    GE has its new line of EVO locos out on the market, they are fairly impressive looking.

    Id still rather have a old EMD SD40-2 though.........
