a locomotive that can store electricity

Can CPKC''s hydrogen fuel cell locomotives doom the diesel?

CPKC''s hydrogen-powered locomotives use fuel cells to produce electricity that''s stored in batteries and sent to each unit''s conventional traction motors. The locomotives were the brainchild of Kyle Mulligan, CPKC''s chief engineer of railway technology. He pitched the idea to CP CEO Keith Creel in 2020, and Creel gave the go …
