of Energy (DOE), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and The Pennsylvania State University. NS 999 is an entirely electric locomotive that uses a lead-acid energy storage system comprising 1,080 12-volt batteries to operate in railroad switching applications without the use of a diesel engine and with zero exhaust emissions.

In 2001, Railpower launched the first hybrid electric switching locomotive in North America, using battery energy storage, called the Green Goat. Lead acid batteries cost less, weigh more, and will be used in many of the first hybrid locomotive applications. Advanced lead acid batteries will make inroads as well.
