Hello again from Gregg C Levine Why yes. As it happens, I remember visiting one, a diesel locomotive that belonged to the Penn Central, about, oh, thirty-three years back. I was amazed as to how much water the thing carried in its tanks for cooling. The visit was back inside Grand Central Station, (or Terminal), itself. The correct term is diesel-electric. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
