As a tribute to its efficiency, the train has also been entered into the Guinness World Records database "for the longest distance of 1,741.7 miles achieved by a pilot hydrogen fuel cell electric multiple unit passenger train without refueling or recharging," according to Stadler, the Switzerland-based manufacturer.

Guinness world records are almost universally bullshit, and go to whoever has the money to pay for someone to come out and verify that they can actually do something, but good grief that's a lot of qualifiers.
