@Hypx@mastodon.social really? There are no electric trains in North America? Astounding.

Electric — Amtrak operates electric locomotives primarily on the Northeast Corridor and the Philadelphia to Harrisburg Main Line. These include the Siemens ACS-64 and the upcoming Avelia Liberty trainsets.

They’re run on the mains though, so aren’t zero-emissions yet.

@markno@mastodon.online It is a bad headline. They probably meant first non-electric train that is zero emissions.
