Current trend toward Diesel locomotives is examined in light of diminishing fuel resources; coal reserves are reported as sufficient for 3000 yr whereas oil reserves of 30 yr remain; gas turbine locomotive while currently using oil, may become new main source of railroad motive power since burning coal inside turbine appears feasible; projected research on coal burning motive power.
