    Your comparisson is flawed...
    SUVs are normally used to drive ONE ass (or at most a few) around. Those Locomotives are pulling entire trains with assess or freight.
    So the total amount of pollution/work is a lot better for them than for your SUV.
    About the only justification for a SUV is either having a pet elefant to feed or having an incredibly big ass in which case you indeed have better things to worry about.
