CP Embarks on Hydrogen Locomotive Pilot
Building on its sustainability initiatives, Canadian Pacific now has plans to develop North America’s first hydrogen fuel cell (HFC)-powered linehaul freight locomotive.
Hydrogen Strategy for Canada
Hydrogen Strategy for Canada’s Railways
Canada wants to bring back steam to its railways, but don’t expect the return of glorious white plumes of condensation, drifting over deep-frozen prairies. This time, the steam would be the invisible exhaust of high-efficiency locomotives and self-propelled passenger units, powered by the on-board conversion of hydrogen into electricity and hot water vapor. Canada hopes to build upon its advantage as builder of the world’s first HFC (hydrogen fuel cell) prime-mover.
