The world's first 100% electric locomotive
So. Cool.

World's First All-Electric Locomotive Has Over 1,000 Batteries, Runs 24 Hours On a Single Charge | Popular Science

Quote:The zero-emissions train makes use of 1,080 12-volt batteries that allows it to run for 24 hours on a single charge--all while carrying the same load as a conventional locomotive.

Quote:And here's the best part: Norfolk Southern says it costs the same to make as a traditional locomotive.
