Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel

There are applications for hydrogen vehicles, but commuter trains aren’t one of them, especially since weight isn’t really much of an issue, so we can just keep adding batteries to get whatever range we need.

Weight is always an issue, who told you it isn’t? And sounds like you know something these engineers don’t.

Some locomotives alone weigh hundreds of tonnes, while weight is an issue, it’s less of an issue than most applications.

Yep, but you’re suggesting that a train which with a diesel motor that weighs that much, wouldn’t be an issue with batteries. If you are going electric, skip the batteries and go over head tram lines and be done with it.
