All hail the green train! GE Transportation's Mainline Evolution Series locomotive, 300 of which reached Chinese shores recently, apparently features the "most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient and low-emissions technology available". With a peak output of 6,250-horsepower, the engine offers 40% more power at 30% less weight than Evolution Series locomotives currently used in North America.
