And for Lisa it's also electric. She'd be delighted if UP electrified its main line. OTOH, she recognizes that the traffic is too light so far. Her hoped-for future: natural-gas turbine engines. (The current flirtation with natural gas conversion of existing diesels is but a transition period while the infrastructure necessary to distribute gas to terminals is built up and to re-use older engine, rather than having to go through the pain of scrapping the entire fleet fairly quickly as during the steam-to-diesel changeover. Once you have that, gas turbines are a relatively easy step.)
