Mathews In the 1980 census 1,584,303 Georgians claimed English ancestry out of a total state population of 3,994,817 making them 40% of the state and the largest ethnic group at the time Today many of these same people claiming that they are of "American" ancestry are actually of English descent and some are of Scots-Irish descent; however their families have lived in the state for so long in many cases since the colonial period that they choose to identify simply as having "American" ancestry or do not in fact know their own ancestry Their ancestry primarily goes back to the original thirteen colonies and for this reason many of them today simply claim "American" ancestry though they are of predominantly English ancestry. .

Electric locomotives draw power from a stationary source via an overhead wire or third rail Some also or instead use a battery in locomotives that are powered by high voltage alternating current a transformer in the locomotive converts the high voltage low current power to low voltage high current used in the traction motors that power the wheels Modern locomotives may use three-phase AC induction motors or direct current motors Under certain conditions electric locomotives are the most powerful traction.[citation needed] They are also the cheapest to run and provide less noise and no local air pollution.[citation needed] However they require high capital investments both for the overhead lines and the supporting infrastructure as well as the generating station that is needed to produce electricity Accordingly electric traction is used on urban systems lines with high traffic and for high-speed rail.
