The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Locomotives with on-board fuelled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel–electric or gas turbine–electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system.
- Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90%.
- Additional efficiency can be gained from regenerative braking, which allows kinetic energy to be recovered during braking to put power back on the line.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Electric locomotive article was read about 73,000 times in a year.
