What detail can be provided about the exhaust that would be emitted from high-speed rail vehicles? Would these emissions be harmful to air quality, particularly in areas along the rail corridor?
The emissions standards for the new high-speed rail vehicles will meet the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Emissions Standards for Train Locomotives, which were previously unregulated. The following table summarizes the results of a total pollutant burden analysis that has been conducted and compares emissions from the high-speed rail locomotives (HSR) with vehicular traffic (VMT) along the I-94 corridor between Milwaukee and Madison.
