Good. Waste of time and money. It's wasteful. Only 30 – 40% of the original energy used to make the hydrogen makes it to movement. Or worse depending on storage and transport times. The only reason it's getting attention is the fossil fuel industry pumping money into the idea to sell blue hydrogen until green is cheaper. But green will never be cheap as it's so a wasteful use of energy.

Hydrogen sucks as an energy storage

compared to...?

Just batteries or running electrical cables next to the rails
The only benefit hydrogen has is its reduced weight, but when that isn't important it's easier to use other energy storage and delivery methods.
