    Green Goat hybrid-electric switch yard locomotive packs the equivalent of 2000 hp of electric energy. It can run for 4-5 hours on battery power alone, producing fuel savings of 30-80 percent, along with equivalent reductions in emissions and noise pollution. Each refurbished unit goes for $750-800,000.
    RailPower Rolling Now
    Interview with RailPower president, James Maier on his company's 'Green Goat' hybrid-electric switch yard locomotives
    By Bill Moore



    What happens to a diesel railroad locomotive when it's seen its better days on the mainline?


    According to RailPower president, James Maier, it 'retires' to the switch yard where it is used to assemble trains; and in the process spends most of its time idling, spewing massive amounts of pollutants, carcinogens and climate-altering CO2 into the urban environment.


    Maier knows something about 'retirement' since he's tried to retire three times now, the most recent one to his organic farm on beautiful Vancouver Island where he's surrounded by seven wineries, one next to his farm. But the railroader in him couldn't pass up the opportunity to take on the challenge of solving the problem of polluting locomotives by taking the helm of the Vancouver, B.C.-based company that builds the "Green Goat" and it's smaller companion, the "Green Kid" hybrid-electric switch yard locomotives.


    With federal and state air quality rules growing increasingly stringent, large railroads like Union Pacific, which has its headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, where EV World is also located, approached RailPower's chief technology officer, Frank Donnelly to come up with a solution. That solution is a 2000 hp, series hybrid locomotive that spends most of its time running on electric power, generating a fraction of the pollution and CO2 of aging, 'retired' mainline units.


    Maier stressed to EV World that the railroads needed the locomotive to not only be cleaner environmentally, more importantly, it had to demonstrate real financial payback or ROI, return on investment.


    "The real economics for the railway have to be in operational costs, in safety operation, in maintenance, in reliability, in performance. And they have, over the years, developed very exacting formulae for how to calculate that return on their money,” Maier said.


    "What we said is, look, let's deliver a product that can deliver those economics; and then... the environmental comes as a product with locomotive. You're not selling hard to the railways on the environmental. You're selling hard on the economics and performance, but then you have this wonderful caveat of look at what this does in terms of its very low emissions, its low maintenance, its low operating costs, its ease of maintenance."


    In addition to reducing pollution and saving the railroads between 35 and 80 percent on fuel, RailPower also helps them recycle their old, mainline locomotives. Borrowing a million dollars from friends and investors, Donnelly engineered his hybrid-electric drive system to breathe new life into equipment the railroads would have eventually written off a scrap. In effect, the railroad gets a completely refurbished switch yard engine for half a price of a new one. Maier said a RailPower conversion runs between $750-800,000 compared to a new GE or GM locomotive that can cost between $1.2-1.5 million.


    UP Breaks the Ice
    Although RailPower had three class-one railroads initially express interest in its locomotive, it was the Union Pacific that made the original commitment to test the "Green Goat", first for six months in the heat of its Southern California yards and then through a cold Chicago winter. Canadian Pacific Railway has also tested the locomotive, proving that the series hybrid design, which relies heavily on lead-acid batteries, can perform in cold climates.
