A locomotive has DC or AC traction motors, powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, and optionally other sources such as regenerative braking. The traction motors of the locomotive may be connected to a set of independent DC choppers or AC inverters, linked via a common DC bus, configured to regulate power from the one or more power sources. A manager module, among other functions, may receive inputs and signals to coordinate delivery of electricity from the sources to the motor. A method for retrofitting a legacy locomotive may include removing a generator and a control apparatus configured for diesel fuel, and installing a kit of apparatus configured to be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. A railway system for use by locomotives powered by hydrogen has one or more hydrogen-generation stations deployed near a track of the railway system.
