Union Pacifics all Battery FLX Battery locomotive by Wabtec How did we get to this?

If you happen by the Wabtec locomotive plant in Erie, PA you may see an unusual locomotive testing. It is Union Pacific's all battery FLX Drive locomotive built by Wabtec. These unique locomotives were built to answer California's strictest environmental laws which are getting tighter each year. This is why we may only see these ten built for UP. However if they are successful they may change yard switching as we know it!
