Locomotives can generate power for buildings.
1. Open building disconnect
2. Line up locomotives
3. Disconnect the rectifier (converts AC to DC)
4. Forget step 3 if the locomotive is new enough to use AC traction
motors
5. For older AC/DC locomotives, set to throttle 5. It gives you about 1.5 MW @ 460 volts, 55 Hz.
6. For newer locomotives, set the VFD at 60 Hz and run her WOT. You should get about 3 MW/unit @ 460 volts
Old hat to railroaders.
