It likely won't help. The EPA didn't grant the CARB (California Air Resources Board ) request for a waiver to regulate locomotive emissions. CARB rescinded their request the other day. That said, electrification has a business case that is ignored at the peril of the railroads, not just the public. This report from Univ of Texas in Austin was released by the FRA yesterday: https://railroads.fra.dot.gov/elibrary/cost-and-benefit-risk-framework-modern-railway-electrification-options
