GE Genesis

AG1 for forward lights, AG2 for reverse. Roll to steer, pitch for throttle.
Throttle up to activate levers and buttons!
It rolls at high speeds, so if you're turning, keep it low.

The Genesis series of locomotives was designed by General Electric in response to a specification published by Amtrak and ultimately selected over a competing design presented by GM EMD. The Genesis series are unique among current North American diesel-electric locomotives because of their low height. This height restriction allowed the locomotive to travel easily through low-profile tunnels in the Northeast Corridor. The Genesis series is lower than even the previous-generation F40PH by 14 inches (356 mm), and is the only Amtrak diesel locomotive that meets the clearance or loading gauge requirements on every Amtrak route.

    @Hyperloop
    Loophole: Electric powered trains are run off of fossil fuel powered plants. Solar, wind, and other means aren't exactly powerful enough.

    @PlaneBuilder3000 I like P32 AC-DM better cuz it can runs on a third rail system like an electric subway train without consuming diesels.
