Sun-Ways Buttes train solar panels

Switzerland just ran its 11,000th train over the world’s first solar power plant locked between the rails of a live railway, wheels passing inches above 48 panels that haven’t moved in fourteen months — and the country that demolished its own solar road is first in line to copy it
