Abrégé

A locomotive is provided including a main deck extending along a longitudinal axis and supporting one or more prime movers configured to be powered at least partially by gaseous fuel; a first truck and a second truck axially spaced apart in the direction of the longitudinal axis, the first and second trucks supporting the main deck; and at least one fuel compartment integrated into the main deck along the longitudinal axis, the at least one fuel compartment comprising one or more supports configured to support loads from the main deck, and one or more storage wells adapted to store one or more storage tanks for storing the gaseous fuel.

Abrégé

A hybrid power system for a locomotive for reducing emissions. The hybrid power system may have at least one engine powered by natural gas, at least one engine powered by diesel fuel and/or a dual fuel mixture of diesel and natural gas, a drive system operatively coupled to the at least one natural gas powered engine and the at least one diesel and/or dual fuel powered engine for propelling the locomotive, and a system controller for independently controlling power output from the respective engines to the drive system based upon a power demand. The hybrid power system may utilize the natural gas powered engine(s) at low power demands, and then supplement this power with the diesel and/or dual fuel powered engine(s) at higher power demands.

Abrégé

A fuel deck for on-board storage and delivery of gaseous fuel for a locomotive. The fuel deck is formed between the engine deck and the trucks of the locomotive. The fuel deck includes a base for riding on the trucks, a ceiling configured to separate the fuel deck from the engine deck, and one or more support structures extending between the base and the ceiling. The support structures are configured to support the load from the engine deck, and separate the base from the ceiling to form a fuel storage compartment that is adapted to store one or more fuel tanks that contain the gaseous fuel. A fuel system including one or more fuel tanks is also provided, where each fuel tank may have more than one inlet/outlet port for enabling faster refilling or distribution of the gaseous fuel, among other considerations.
