JR East, the major railway operator on the Tokyo side of Japan, has revealed plans to power its trains with fuel cells and is currently preparing a prototype locomotive with two 65-kilowatt fuel cells and just one carriage, which it hopes will reach about 100kph. Ambitiously, JR reckons it will get some real fuel-cell trains on the public tracks by the middle of next year. We've already seen the company's astonishing maglev train whizzing through the hills on a secluded track not far from here, so we're confident this scheme will make it too.
