High-horsepower hydrogen finishes first test


Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway’s (CPKCR’s) high-horsepower hydrogen locomotive CP 1200 has completed its first phase of testing which involved hauling both loaded and empty bulk trains. CP 1200, along with its dedicated fuel tender CP 10001, joined a consist that included three diesel locomotives and 152 loaded gondolas.

 

Together, they pulled a fully loaded bulk train in Canada from Sparwood, BC to Golden, BC. The very next day, this hydrogen locomotive assisted in the return of 152 empty gondolas back to Sparwood.

 

This achievement represents the first of three testing phases designed to validate the reliability of high-horsepower hydrogen locomotives and further enhance the technology, CPKCR said. (ben)
