Abstract: Provided herein is an energy delivery system for transporting electrical energy from an electrical energy generation facility to an electrical energy consumption facility via rail. The energy delivery system can comprise a train comprising at least one rail car loaded with at least one battery system. The battery system can comprise an energy transfer interface for receiving energy from the energy generation facility when the train is located at the energy generation facility for charging batteries of the battery system and for transferring energy stored by the battery system to the energy consumption facility when the train is located at the energy consumption facility. The energy transfer interface can be configured to receive energy from a corresponding energy transfer interface mounted to a crane system of the energy generation facility and to transfer energy to a corresponding energy transfer interface mounted to a crane system of the energy consumption facility.
