From what I understand 'two, less a day' in provincial is WAY harder time than 'two, plus a day' in a federal medium security prison.

Thanks for the info!
So a hydrogen jet engine is... less than useless?

Diesel has an energy density of 45.5 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg), slightly lower than gasoline, which has an energy density of 45.8 MJ/kg. By contrast, hydrogen has an energy density of approximately 120 MJ/kg, almost three times more than diesel or gasoline. What this really means is that 1 kg of hydrogen, used in a fuel cell to power an electric motor, contains approximately the same energy as a gallon of diesel (rmi.org). site
As for storage weight: train, locomotive. Expensive: probably, until it's a mature industry.

I was wondering about gas storage cars on the trains, like old-timey coal tenders. Liquid hydrogen tanks?

Distances are different. Canada is thousands of miles across and very sparsely populated compared to Europe, for instance.
Overhead electric on 5,000+ km of freight rail? (That's as the crow flies.) Not at all practical.

I'm in Canada: it'd take new nuclear power or hydro dams (and there aren't accessible rivers) and two or three third-world strip mines to electrify rail here.
Paris to Berlin: 1054 km
Halifax to Vancouver: 6,150 km

Make hydrogen locomotives a thing. And shipping. And hydrogen made with green energy, not coal/oil.

Reply to TIL about "The Pearl": An underground pornographic magazine issued monthly between 1879 and 1880. Its contents were three serial erotic tales simultaneously, devoted to sex in high society, incest, and flagellation. It was shut down by the British authorities for violating standards of obscenity. by DasherPack
It was sub-standard obscenity?
