Abstract:
Locomotives comprising a chassis configured for receiving various modules such as, for example, fuel storage modules and/or power modules. By employing a selected combination of fuel storage modules and power modules, a locomotive may be constructed to employ any of one or more types of fuel, such as liquid fuels and gaseous fuels. Batteries may be employed to maximize energy use. Multiple locomotives may function together as a ‘consist’ having differing types of engines and using different types of fuel. A control system may be employed to optimize use of the engines by prioritizing factors such as cost, fuel efficiency, noise reduction, emissions reduction, etc.

Claim (Index 1):
A locomotive comprising:\n a first power module, the first power module comprising a first engine optimized to run on a first fuel and a first generator coupled to be driven by the first engine to generate first electrical power; a second power module, the second power module comprising a second engine optimized to run on a second fuel and a second generator coupled to be driven by the second engine to generate second electrical power; a first fuel module for storing the first fuel and connected to provide the first fuel to the first power module; a second fuel module for storing the second fuel and connected to provide the second fuel to the second power module; an electrical bus connected to the first power module to receive the first electrical power and connected to the second power module to receive the second electrical power and to provide third electrical power to a drive system of the locomotive; a control system connected to the first power module, the second power module, the first fuel module, the second fuel module and the electrical bus, the control system configured to individually control a first power output level of the first power module and a second power output level of the second power module according to a total power requirement of the drive system of the locomotive.
