The Locomotive Petition to U.S. EPA is a request for rulemaking, seeking the amendment of emission standards for newly built locomotives and locomotive engines and lower emission standards for remanufactured locomotives and locomotive engines.
The petition asks U.S. EPA to update its standards to take effect for remanufactured locomotives in 2023 and for newly built locomotives in 2025. The new emission standards would provide critical NOx and PM reductions, particularly in the disadvantaged communities that surround railyards.
