San Bernardino County, California, is awaiting the arrival of a zero-emission hydrogen-powered passenger train from Switzerland, the first of its kind in the United States.

Metrolink, operator of a rail line running between downtown Los Angeles and San Bernardino, will run the hydrogen-powered train along a nine-mile track between downtown San Bernardino and the University of Redlands with four stops along the way, according to Tim Watkins, spokesman for the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA).
