Wrong. That's a diesel-electric. And wrong again before you even start, they aren't the same thing.
"Russian diesel-electric locomotive... The prime mover was an MAN submarine-type diesel engine, weighing 26 tonnes, and there were five traction motors."

"For locomotives powered by both external electricity and diesel fuel, see electro-diesel below.
In a diesel-electric locomotive, the diesel engine drives either an electrical DC generator (generally, less than 3,000 horsepower (2,200 kW) net for traction), or an electrical AC alternator-rectifier (generally 3,000 horsepower (2,200 kW) net or more for traction), the output of which provides power to the traction motors which drive the locomotive."

We'd maybe have to meet up face to face to set it up, but we could assign meanings to Shakespeare plays or Rush albums.

The crazy part is that the Paris terrorists didn't use encryption and nothing they did was affected by Snowden in any way.
No no no no no. They didn't use encryption because Snowden spilled the beans about it. If he'd kept quiet they'd have happily gone on using encryption which would have been much easier to break because... ummmm... look, over there! A brown person! I bet he's up to no good.

I lost 6 kilos in the first month.
If they've heard of him at all they probably think he's the guy in the wheelchair with the weird voice.
Yup, and they totally earned it fairly and squarely.
Go twenty years earlier. The current crop seem to be a bit better than some of them.
Your theory of monotonic deterioration is disproved by counterexample.
Wrong.

P.S. Whooooooosh.
Must be pretty powerful if it can illuminate the moon.
Bollocks. Alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are NOT antibiotics in the sense that anyone with a clue uses the word.
So what you're saying is that the government has renewable powers.
Isn't that what the treehuggers are in favour of?
Yeah, the reason you haven't heard of "counter demonstrators" is that I just made it up.
Are the small ones more inclined to be blunt?
You have some strange beliefs about apostrophe usage.
No I am fucking not.
Unless blockading happens to be part of your job description then blockading is still a strike.
I'd have let it go ahead. Maybe it would tempt them into acting, and if you lose a few crusties in the process who cares?
Ah, the Martini-Cinzano wars, I remember them well. Much blood was spilled, and not a little lemonade.
No, because an offer isn't a contract.
How much of a loss has she inflicted on the economy by her monopolistic practices?
It's protests all the way down. I'm surprised they haven't gone on strike yet.
You mean captcha.
That's the second retarded thing you've said on the same thread, so why don't you fuck off?
Wrong. That's a diesel-electric. And wrong again before you even start, they aren't the same thing.

I have never read 1984 (or any other book for that matter) but mod me up anyway because NUMBER ONE! Yay!!!!
You are in the "I think this milk is off" sense.
I know it's a long shot, but is it possible that the advertising agents lied slightly?
Never heard of a hybrid train. Diesel-electric usually means diesel engine with electric transmission.
