...I watched the video that's linked in the full article to see if this was a H2 combustion conversion or a full-on electric conversion and it turns out this is an electric locomotive now!

I know that existing diesel locomotives can be updated either way, and I was expecting just a quick switch-out of the old desiel engine to a H2 combustion engine, but they went with a H2 fuel cell power electric drive for this one.

Also...

Thanks for the info on the World Hydrogen 2024 Summit & Exhibition!

I've been seeing promotions for the Hydrogen Americas 2024 Summit and Exposition in June ( https://www.hydrogen-americas-summit.com ) in the https://www.fuelcellsworks.com newsletter, but didn't know about the World Summit.
