Amtrak Stole My Idea!

Coast Starlight refueling at Portland, June 2023 

I had the idea several years ago of a locomotive that would run on diesel and electric power, as the need might arise.  Today I find that Amtrak has swiped the idea and is going full blast with it on a bunch of new trains set to debut in the coming year.  I don't mind their using the concept if it helps the traveling public -- but I really think I ought to get a little compensation for having thought of it first, don't you?  Now where did I put those notes . . . .
