“CSX received the grant in partnership with the Maryland Department of Transportation, and Wabtec Corporation in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the highly industrialized city. In fact, the battery electric replacements “will be the first-ever zero-emission locomotives at an East Coast port.” By replacing the formerly diesel-electric powered locomotives, CSX would save 1,530 metric tons of CO2, 71 metric tons of NOx, and 3.43 metric tons of PM2.5.
The reduction in emissions achieved from CSX’s intentional investment actually exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) set standards. Ultimately, those that work at the terminal and live in the surrounding areas will experience significantly less emissions as they go about their daily lives in Maryland.”
