The second housed a back-up generator and two cast-iron boilers - one was oil-powered, and the auxiliary burned solid fuel.

In the 1900s (decade), electrical communication converged with the oil-powered internal combustion engine, giving rise to the Second Industrial Revolution.

In utility jargon, "emergency" means that the dispatcher is no longer seeking cheap hydroelectric power so he can avoid using his own, more expensive oil-powered generators.

That would bring technology nearly full circle: from the old-fashioned steam engine that ran on coal, to the oil-powered diesels in use today, to coal-powered diesel trains.
