It just ocurred to me that train engines operate kind of like this, don't they? I think I read somewhere that locomotives actually are propelled by electric motors and the diesel engine powers a generator that runs the DC motors. Does anybody know if this is the case? It doesn't sound as though it would be efficient, but what do I know?
