Diesel electric trains are good. Electric motors and transmissions have advantages. I wouldn't be surprised to see better hybrids or straight up fuel/generator systems or fuel cells. You're right that batteries are the problem. The drivetrain side of electrics is awesome in everything from ships to trains to aircraft. It's the batteries holding us back.
