Yeah, I have to say I'm actually pretty impressed with the "rail up a hill" thing. Sure, 50MW isn't a ton, but it takes up nearly no space, infrastructure is very simple (5 miles of plain electrified track and that's it!), doesn't even need a crazy grade (7%), and most importantly: locomotives are cheap. IIRC, less than a million bucks for a good DC electric one, used. So you can be up and running pretty cheap and simple. I'd love to see people running more of these setups. Especially in places where DC locomotives are cheap (former CIS countries), this could be even more cost effective.
