The World’s ONLY 100% solar-powered train, in Australia, has not missed a single scheduled service in over a year. The Byron Bay Railroad Company runs this 100-seat vintage train on a short 6-kilometer route that basically goes back & forth, between downtown to a beach resort. Around a couple of years ago, the town came up with the idea to convert the train to pure EV, powered by the sun’s energy. Well, that was it, Hallelujah the small vintage train running over a 6 km railroad has not missed a single service. That’s what we call in the industry “The Proof of the Cake, which is in the Cake”. That’s maybe one of the reasons that a chain reaction is happening & on the other side of the earth in France, some geniuses have thought of running future high-speed trains on Solar Power from utility-scale solar farms.
