Electrifying UP's Main Line In the SE Desert

Seventy 4 locomotive trains / day. That's several hundred megawatts,
lots of wasted $ because the grid is now much cheaper than diesel and
getting cheaper by the day.

Someone needs to tip off the hot shots in San Francisco that they can
save big bucks by electrifying their main line.

Don't even take the engines out of the locomotives. Just start
hanging some wire.
