Are electro-diesel and diesel-electric trains the same thing, or two different types of trains? Going by the names at first I figured they where just two different ways of saying the same thing, but then I saw a section about diesel-electric trains and a separate section about electro-diesel trains on a locomotive's page on Wikipedia, so now I am not completely certain; although aside from this page, when searching for diesel-electric trains I have found several pages that explain how they run, while I have been able to find next to no information about how electro-diesel trains run, assuming they are in fact two different types of trains. So are they just two different ways of describing the same type of train, or two different types of trains?
