Or... Electric trains? Perhaps?

Diesel can keep going when there is a power outage even if it is just enough to get people to safety.

I wonder if anybody is doing electric trains with onboard emergency diesel generators. They wouldn’t need to be able to move the train at full speed. They would just need to be able to get the train moving to the next station or whatever, in the event of a prolonged outage or damage to infrastructure.
