I visited a Project Tempest site in the building that I worked. AKA the CIA room.

A friend was involved with it and arranged for a tour (circa 1985).

A double hardened Faraday cage with the works!!!
Any sort of isolation and it was in use, including vibration dampening.
IIRC at the time, even the name ‘Project Tempest’ was classified.

On a locomotive? Probably not.

Yes. Impervious to EMP.

If you were going to use them as backup generators, they should be able to survive an EMP event.

Perhaps they’re tempest by default, with their steel enclosures acting like a big faraday cage grounded through the tracks.
