For example this General Motors locomotive could easily be adapted with a 600 kw. S.O.F.C. auxiliary power unit I agree CH4, the SOFC would likely be quite suitable to provide electricity for the passenger railcars. In my previous internet search for "Auxiliary Power Unit", several references to railway transportation also surfaced. The search results also gave several links pertaining to aircraft, but I am not sure if aircraft manufacturers would consider retrofitting SOFC technology. Who knows for sure!

CH4 SMALL WORLD I WAS A welding supervisor on the underframe of those locomotives EVEN a secondary power source that would run all the power equipement that is required on a train,GMD has taken that old engine and milked every pound of power possible out of it ,the only thing left is a brand new design ,they seem reluctant to foot that huge bill . An engineer said to me at a retirement party last week "the push is on to get new technology to market before the competitor,.I didnt get into it with him but I will see him again sam
