High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Railpower Technologies Corp. is a subsidiary of R.J. Corman Railroad Group that builds environmentally friendly hybrid and genset yard locomotives, founded by Frank Donnelly and Gerard Koldyk. Its "Green Goat" locomotives have been purchased by Canadian Pacific Railway, BNSF Railway, Kansas City Southern Railway and Union Pacific Railroad among others. The company was founded in 2001 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and incorporated an automotive propulsion system into a new hybrid yard locomotive, dubbed the "Green Goat." The unit was built off the frame of an EMD GP9, and was powered by a 130-hp diesel engine charging a bank of 320 lead-acid batteries, producing 2,000-hp. This first unit underwent extensive testing and demonstration in both Canada and the United States for a year, in conjunction with a smaller 1,000-hp unit, called the "Green Kid."
