Plain-English Summary
The Federal Railroad Administration would be required to create a test program to explore using multiple types of power sources (such as electricity, hydrogen, or other fuels) to run trains instead of relying solely on diesel. This pilot program would help the railroad industry learn whether switching to cleaner or alternative energy sources is practical and cost-effective. The program would affect railroad companies, workers in the rail industry, and potentially passengers who use trains.
