This was announced about a year ago...any updates?

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

IINM Railpower industries was one of the partners in this project (the locomotive was to have been a modification of an already built Green Goat)..Given that Railpower is bankrupt and, in all likelihood, about to go out of business, I assume the project is dead for now.

 Has anyone seen any updates on the earlierUS Army/DOE/Ballard Systems project to convert an Army GP-10 to Hydrogen Fuel Cell power? It seems like this is dead as well...
