When Amtrak’s Capitol Corridor trains pull into the future Hercules station, they will be part of a much cleaner fleet of engines… “A greener era in train travel has rolled into the Bay Area with the debut of an engine overhauled for $826,000 to run cleaner than any other diesel passenger train locomotive in the nation. Air pollution regulators and railroad managers gathered in Oakland to show off the train engine that recently began operating on the Capitol Corridor rail line from San Jose to Sacramento — paralleling Interstate 80 through East Bay cities where diesel pollution is a public health concern.”
