What it does
The LOCOMOTIVES Act would amend the Clean Air Act to prohibit states from setting their own emissions standards for existing locomotives and engines used in locomotives, reserving that authority exclusively to the federal government. It specifically targets locomotives engaged in common carrier railroad transportation for compensation, as defined under federal law, and clarifies that such equipment falls under federal regulation only. The bill aims to create a uniform national standard by eliminating state-level variability in locomotive emissions controls.
