Fuel is needed in order to operate locomotives driven by diesel, while electricity is needed to power electric operated locomotives.
Fuel prices will fluctuate and it is therefore a good idea to purchase while cheap.
For electric locomotives, a spot market deal must be made. Similar to purchasing fuel, you can lock prices on the spot market for a certain amount of kilowatts. Spot prices will also fluctuate.
