Comment | Something needs to be done about Metrolink Diesel Electric Trains, They are GROSS POLLUTERS AND IDLE for long periods of time at LAX Union Station, in Downtown LA. Their smog fills the entire Union Station with diesel smog and soot. It is unbearable and breathable inside Union Station. Further, they travel the LA - San Bernardino / Riverside corridor along the 10 Fwy East/West Bound and emit TONS of Visible black soot. Eliminate these Diesel/Electric commuter trains and make them use Light Rail or pure electric vehicles. It is terrible along the Freeway when ever these Metrolink commuter trains pass by. These trains need to eliminated and replaced with pure electric. Moreover, in the mean time, they also need to comply with the same passenger and semi-tractor trailer diesel truck emission standards. NO EXEMPTION. This goes for all trains, especially in the City of Commerce where there is a HUGE train yard of freight trains. |
