Re: Amtrak orders 75 new Siemens Charger locomotives for LD trains

I didn't make the comparison.

And the DM30AC's weight is probably misreported on Wikipedia; close to 75,000 lbs per axle sounds way off.

The page I linked also says that adding battery packs is another 15,000 lbs for the Siemens dual-mode loco, which would jack up the weight to a whopping 306,500 lbs (or 76,625 lbs per axle).
