Fun fact - The regular everyday train locomotives you see in North America are electric. (en.wikipedia.org)

They have big diesel engines that power electric motors. There is no mechanical connection between the diesel engine and the wheels. Therefore, they are electric trains. - Most people don't know this, but it is in fact true.
