LOCOMOTIVES Act

This bill would change the Clean Air Act so that states and local governments cannot set their own emissions standards for existing locomotives and the engines used in them. Under current law, this ban on state rules covers only new locomotives and new locomotive engines. The bill would extend the ban to other locomotives and engines that are engaged in commerce. This includes all locomotives used by railroads that carry goods or passengers for pay as common carriers. The bill also rewords the existing ban on state rules for certain small construction and farm engines without changing what it covers.
