>just invest billions in some infrastructure that'll be a massive hassle to maintain and probably be obsolete in a decade, as well as causing massive efficiency losses inherent to long-distance power transmission

Are you retarded by chance? Transmission and distribution of electric energy is incredibly efficient.

Can someone explain to me why "battery" is the future for normies? like holy fuck. You would think with all the Note cellphone bombs on airplanes and cars #firedsuddenly that they would just tone down or just look for alternatives, but nooooooooo, lets use it on TRAINS that weigh more than an entire city in a single consist.
Also, how much does this shit weigh compared to the DDA40X?

I’m pretty sure that rock band has enough money to prevent a third current from being discovered

I forgot to mention weight, but lets go with your absolute braindead take anyways.

Surely making shitload of batteries that not probably but fucking guaranteed to be obsolete in a decade is a better way, right?

I'm assuming those are there to allow electric trains to change rail without having to temporarily use a diesel electric locomotive.
