PHL gets more green locomotives
Pacific Harbor Line (PHL) has received partial funding — together with the California Air Resources Board (Carb). The US short line railroad, which is part of Anacostia Rail Holding, is contributing USD 6.37 million toward the USD 34.2 million cost to acquire five ZE locomotives and two charging stations that are included in CARB’s application, for a total of eight ZE locomotives.
This PHL project is expected to eliminate 459 t of CO2e per year. The PHL locomotives will be manufactured in the USA by Progress and will help California to meet its air quality goals. The rail carrier serves the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles which together form the largest container port in the USA. (ben)
