Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be required to study how to convert railroad systems across the country to run on electricity instead of diesel fuel, examining the costs, benefits, and practical challenges of making this transition. This research would help policymakers and railroad companies understand what it would take to modernize the nation's rail infrastructure, potentially reducing pollution and operating costs. The study would affect railroad operators, environmental advocates, and communities that depend on rail transportation.
