Railway transportation plays an essential role in developing world economic activity since it ensures the exchange of goods and the movement of people, creating broader markets. In this sector, energy sources have evolved from coal to diesel and electricity. Diesel traction damages the environment and human health; these include greenhouse gas emissions and noise pollution. However, new alternatives such as hydrogen and battery-powered trains significantly help in the search for pollution-free traffic, but at the same time, they emit lower noise levels compared to diesel trains.
