What is available to railroads (Union Pacific, Burlington Northern Santa Fe)?
There are cleaner, more efficient ways to operate. Restrictions on idling engines, restricts on rail yards. We have to meet federal standards for particulate matter. We need help from everyone. Business has helped, individuals also. But other factors, such as railroads and fleets, school buses, need to help too. The state is seeking comments from the public on whether they should seek a waiver from EPA in order for AQMD to implement engine regulation rules on fleets, school buses, etc. Clean Air Act: Federal government wants to look at this. We need our local government representatives to support. Note: Crestline in the mountains has the worst pollution in our area. Call 1(800) CUT SMOG 24/7 to report smells or sightings of pollutants. Go to www.AQMD.gov for lots of info and links.
