Neither your wiki quote nor the wiki article itself says that locomotives are hybrids, serial or otherwise. You cut and pasted sentences out of context and their meaning got turned on its head. In fact, the "concept" that the wiki article says has been used by locomotives for years is wheel-motors, not hybridization. So you aren't working off the definition of a hybrid provided by wiki at all.

One cannot just cut and paste sentences together until they say what one wants them to say.
