Why Americas Future & The Electric Train Are Inherently Linked

The electric train represents a significant factor in the “greening” and self sufficiency of America. With much of the country connected to rail networks freight can be moved with great ease and far more importantly by electric locomotives. Electric trains have all their torque available all of this time, one of the primary advantages of the electric motor, therefore they can pull more cargo per motor. All the necessary rolling stock already exists, much of the track is in place and therefore the only intial cost for freight would be new engines. If the power for these trains is generated by wind farms and solar power plants you will see a rapid reduction in emissions and gasoline usage.
