Description
Canada Just Built a Diesel Killer — And It's Already Going Global
For 70 years, every heavy freight train on the continent ran on one thing: diesel. Then engineers in a Calgary rail shop pulled the diesel engine out of an old locomotive, gave it a new power plant, and sent it up the Rocky Mountains with a loaded coal train behind it. The only thing coming out of the exhaust was water.
In this video, we follow the story from a forgotten secret hidden inside every diesel locomotive since the 1940s, to a small fuel cell company started near Vancouver in 1979, to the Alberta stations making hydrogen beside the tracks, and finally to the railways around the world now asking Canada for the plans.
