Risk assessment of hydrogen and battery power in locomotives - part 1 - literature review / prepared for Transport Canada ; prepared by M. Hernandez, I. Jimenez, D. Chuang, E. Toma, C. Rabbitt and S. Mackie.NR16-491/2022E-PDF

"A literature review was conducted to assess the risks and hazards associated with the operation of hydrogen fuel cell and battery powered (hydrail) locomotives. Two complementary reports were produced: a risks and hazards analysis (Part 2), and a codes and standards review (Part 3). A hydrail locomotive reference design was developed to identify major systems and components, and permit a comparison with current diesel-electric locomotives. Several real-world hydrail demonstrations were examined, and a summary of considerations for the adoption of hydrail technology were presented. Recommendations included a risk and hazard analysis of freight hydrail locomotives in revenue service, and a literature review for a battery-electric locomotive. This follow-on work is currently planned for Phase 2 of this project"--Abstract, page 4.
