Timothy Burroughs General Wasn't there plans for a company back 10 or so years ago to do this? 3/13/2010 8:30:22 AM
Silence Dogood General They take the electricity the locomotive makes and run it through a zig zag transformer which creates a Y leg I believe and they use it to power the buildings, there are 4 of these in the yards. 3/13/2010 3:06:12 PM
Gary Waxler General I think EMD had plans a long time ago to use the same power plant that was in the DD-35 as portable power generators. 3/13/2010 7:14:23 PM
