I'm not trying to start trouble, just asking. How do these engines work? Is it the same technology as steam engines, diesel engines, or something new?
Thanks.

I suppose that there’s a couple of ways to do it - one is to use hydrogen as a fuel in an ICE engine.
Another way is to use a fuel cell to convert it to electricity by combining it with ambient oxygen to create the electrical current and provide float charge to onboard batteries.
I believe that many locomotives are electrically driven (diesel powers the generators) so the second option may be the most likely…
And in case of a railroad crash- do we get a thermo nuclear bomb going off? Asking for a friend…
Absolutely! That's why it's called a "hydrogen bomb"

Had an opportunity to see one up close. They fuel up with hydrogen at specific points and are a hydrogen/electric motor. In essence the hydrogen replaces the diesel (with engine mods obviously).
Locomotives powered by Hydrogen?
