General Electric Genesis (officially trademarked GENESIS) is a series of passenger locomotives produced by GE Transportation Systems, a subsidiary of General Electric. Between the period of 1992 and 2001, 332 of these locomotives were built for Amtrak, Via Rail, and Metro-North.
The Genesis series of locomotives was designed by General Electric in response to a specification published by Amtrak and ultimately selected over a competing design presented by GM EMD. The Genesis series are unique among current North American diesel-electric locomotives because of their low height. This height restriction allowed the locomotive to travel easily through low-profile tunnels in the Northeast Corridor. The Genesis series is lower than even the previous-generation F40PH by 14 inches (356 mm), and is the only Amtrak diesel locomotive that meets the clearance requirements on every Amtrak route. They are also Amtrak’s main locomotives.

Despite appearing somewhat similar to a conventional diesel electric locomotive, the BP4 has no diesel engine; battery charging is provided by pulling in an external power source. Battery life is extended by the use of regenerative braking, which returns power to the batteries. The BP4 is designed to operate 3 shifts on a single battery charge. Only 1 BP4 has been constructed so far, Norfolk Southern #999, converted from GP38 #2911 (former Conrail #7732) .Description from Wikipedia.org
