Plain-English Summary

The proposal would establish new environmental standards and regulations for locomotives to reduce air pollution and emissions from trains used in freight and passenger transportation. Railroad companies would need to upgrade or replace older engines to meet stricter pollution limits, which could improve air quality in communities near rail lines and reduce the industry's environmental impact. The changes would affect railroad operators, manufacturers of locomotive equipment, and potentially shipping costs for businesses that rely on rail transport.
