Technically, pretty well all of them are serial hybrids, which is basically an electric infinitely variable transmission (IVT). There is no battery, so the latter term is more accurate than calling them a hybrid, which usually implies some means of storage and regen.
Now, back to to your regularly scheduled Cali bashing thread.

They’re “diesel-electrics.” A diesel motor provides the energy that’s converted to electricity to power the traction motors on the trucks to move the locomotive.
I believe I got that right.
