Advanced Locomotive Emission Control
System
Location: California:
Roseville Rail Yard, Roseville
EPA provided a $39,000 grant to the Placer County Air Pollution
Control District, with over $1 million in leveraging by other
Collaborative partners for an innovative project that utilized
conventional stationary source emission control equipment to
treat emissions from locomotives in the service area of the
Roseville rail yard. The emissions were captured by placing
a bonnet over the exhaust stacks of the locomotives while they
are being serviced. This project demonstrated the ability of
such a system to achieve, on average, annual emissions reductions
of nitrogen oxides by 62 tons, and particulate matter by 2 tons.
