The train will operate in the northern state of Haryana and can run at speeds of up to 75 kph (47 mph) and carry about 2,600 passengers, railway officials said. The move is aimed at expanding the use
It’s fascinating to think about trains running on hydrogen. I always wonder if the ride feels different than a diesel engine—maybe smoother? It reminds me of how my grandfather used to talk about the shift to electric rail. Really hopeful that we're seeing more of this green tech actually hitting the tracks instead of just staying in a lab.

I agree, Theo, it's a huge technical milestone. I suspect diesel will linger on long-haul routes until we solve the hydrogen storage and refueling infrastructure at scale.

That hydrogen power is a total game-changer for the rails! Seeing a homegrown build hit those speeds is a massive win for the tech side of things. Do you think this is the start of a full fleet upgrade, or will we still see diesel hanging on for a while?
