Amtrak to Remain in San Bernardino
San Bernardino’s Arrow Line will be
the first in North America to feature a
first self-powered, zero-emission
passenger train. The ZEMU – Zero
Emission Multiple Unit arrived late last
month for final testing and will be
placed into service later this year.
The train is powered by a hybrid
hydrogen and battery engine. Water
vapor is the only emission generated.
