Pete,
Excellent point. However, the conversion, if powered by electricity, is the closest to neutral-impact that you can get.
This brings up two questions:
Q1: Should CP instead just plan for traditional electric locomotives, and start building cat, just skipping the convert-to-hydrogen step?
Q2: How about battery powered locomotives? Not enough charge capacity yet in today's batteries?
