Caterpillar, BNSF Railway, Chevron pursue
hydrogen-powered locomotive.
This is a very smart move IF they can get the first couple of Rail Cars, (Tankers), set up to contain the Hydrogen gas. Did a lot of work in/ on this subject over a 10 year period. Biggest issue is sealing up the tanks as hydrogen will permeate thru all known containment materials over time. But trains have a enormous containment (Volume) capability. So if you figure out the places where they need to go and built Hydrogen Fuel Stations for the trains in those locations you are in good shape. They talk about getting hydrogen from fuels which is really backward when one square yard of water in a ocean 30,000 feet deep holds massive amounts of hydrogen fuel. The ocean has lifetime volumes of hydrogen fuel capability. Water is 2 parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. Interesting article. https://www.axios.com/caterpillar-bn...a28e20155.html Tom V.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
