Hidden suggestion here that hydrogen might be more immediately suitable for trains than cars?

I was wondering why the switch to hydrogen instead of electrification. But I've read that the initial cost of electrification is very high, and that hydrogen fuel works out cheaper. I guess we won't be seeing many of these in Japan where railways are almost all electrified already.

German trains made in France. How 'European'! Makes it easier for them to get the technology out there, which I think is the real point.
