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.
