Amtrak goes green
JACOB BOOMSM / SHUTTERSTOCK . COM
Amtrak continues to make strides in its eco-friendly efforts with a pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 % and to transition all onboard electricity to carbon-free power sources by 2030 . The move will be largely powered by the introduction of the company ’ s new fleet of ALC-42 locomotives which are scheduled to replace the legacy fleet throughout Amtrak ’ s national network . In addition to reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions , the ALC-42s will be cleaner and faster traveling at top speeds of 125 mph .
