Researchers show economic, environmental and grid-resilience benefits of converting diesel trains to battery-electric

Green Car Congress

The study highlights that additional pathways to electrifying US freight trains exist, such as electrifying trains via overhead power lines or using hydrogen fuel cells in conjunction with battery-powered trains. This mobile energy storage capability would also create a potential new revenue stream for freight rail operators.
