The future of trains = electric trains. Not this diesel hybrid shit.
Sure, but we're not living in the future and not every line has been electrified yet. This will create new possibilities for connections between corridors which use different energy sources and improve transportation for everyone, today.
We’re sort of where we were with hybrid cars a decade or two ago. The Prius popularized a revolution in technology that made a huge impact on car efficiency and was a huge success. The technology was useful as a bridge toward fully electric vehicles.
Of course, somewhere along the line Toyota squandered their technical leadership by forgetting the difference between “was” and “is”
Anyhow, the point is electrifying tracks is a huge infrastructure investment that will take many years and piles of money. Certainly it’s a good idea and worth the investment, but you can’t just snap your fingers and “make it so”. multi-mode trains make progress in the meantime …. Assuming you don’t”pull a Toyota” and lose sight of progress
Great video, thanks for sharing
Trailblazing may mot be the best adjective for any train i want to ride.
'Stay in it's lane train' sounds good to me.
This will be good for train travel between different countries such as through Europe, where there is difference between how trains are powered
