The rule will ban locomotive engines more than 23 years old by 2030 and increase the use of zero-emissions technology to transport freight from ports and throughout railyards. It would also ban locomotives in the state from idling longer than 30 minutes if they are equipped with an automatic shutoff.

The state approved a transition toand a roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality, meaning it would remove as many carbon emissions as it releases, by 2045.
