This video may not exactly make clear what it is GE is doing to make locomotives more efficient, but it sure as hell is fun to watch. I’m guessing this isn’t one of those single-shot things, but rather is a composite shot. Not that that matters to the viewer, but I’m always curious about that kind of thing.

The music reminds me of Loscil, except a little more… boutique-y.
