          I wonder if anybody is doing electric trains with onboard emergency diesel generators. They wouldn’t need to be able to move the train at full speed. They would just need to be able to get the train moving to the next station or whatever, in the event of a prolonged outage or damage to infrastructure.

        thats not what I mean. Of course they would best but either option is better than EVs. Diesel trains are cheaper tho

      Not through cities. We need clean running options in densly populated areas

        Thats not my point, my point is that dirty running trains are better than clean running cars.
