production of a Hybrid locomotive‚ developed by General Electric. If every diesel fuel locomotive in America manufactured before 2001 was replaced with hybrid locomotive equipment‚ the reduced smog-producing emissions in one year would be equal to removing one third of the vehicles from America roads. If every locomotive in America were as proficient as the hybrid locomotive‚ railroads could attain a fuel cost savings of $425 million each year (GE. Ecomagination). Hybrid locomotive technology will

The coupled driving wheels on steam locomotives (often simply called "drivers") were held in a straight line by the locomotive’s frame. The flanges of the drivers were spaced a bit closer than the rail gauge‚ and they could still fit between the rails when tracking through a mild curve. At some degree of curvature‚ though‚ the flanges
