North America’s first hydrogen-powered train tested on Quebec rails
Engineers with the Train de Charlevoix were sent to Germany last winter to learn how to operate it.
“The controls are not as primitive as the diesel trains. You have computers telling you if there’s any problems,” Robitaille said. “It’s still all in German, and my German’s not that great.” Benoit Robitaille underwent special training in Germany to operate Alstom’s Coradia iLint train in Charlevoix, Quebec.“It’s definitely a step in the direction of what we want to demonstrate in these beautiful Charlevoix landscapes,” she said.
