Is it certified for 110?

It kind of reminds me of the 60's rocket/jet pack (well, fuel I suppose) experiments here and in France, where they had a pretty sci-fi looking jet train.

The locomotive doesn't appear to be in compliance with EPA Tier 4 emissions requirements. Fortunately for the railroad involved, it's running in Kazakhstan where EPA regs don't apply.
EPA? What's that?

You should see some of the Alco WDM-2 and derivative smokers that run around in India. Fortunately many of them are slated to be converted to pure electrics and the rest scrapped.
