In Europe Alstom is already offering the Coradia iLint:  <a href="http://www.alstom.com/Global/OneAlstomPlus/Railsystems/Pressreleases/2017/20170314---_iLint---800x320.jpg">http://www.alstom.com/Global/OneAlstomPlus/Railsystems/Pressreleases/2017/20170314---_iLint---800x320.jpg</a> It is equipped with two 200 kW fuel-cell and 110kW-hr lithium-ion batteries for 19500 lbs starting tractive effort and a total power of 544 kW. The reach is about 500 miles with 200 lbs H2 at 350 bar. The iLINT costs about 75% more than a diesel-electric LINT. Siemens is developing a H2 fuel-cell propulsion system for its Mireo platform together with Ballard Power Systems (Canada). Market introduction hoped for in 2021. [quote user="erikem"]Best way to generate hydrogen would be using surplus solar power in late morning/early afternoon and surplus wind power when available.[/quote] I think that is the only way if you propose a clean exhaust. Otherwise the fuel-cells still produce just water but the harmfull exhaust is transfered to the power plant. Regards, Volker
