Reply to "What is this? battery/electric engine?"

These locomotives would be excellent pushers on the Hill from Altoona to Gallitzin. Then couple on to the next Eastbound train and recharge the batteries going back down the Hill to Altoona. Rinse&repeat all day and all night. Truly a lot of something for nothing.

 

IIRC the Milwaukee Road used regenerative braking on their DC electrified line and that power went into the Catenary to power a train climbing the hill.
