For the first time, MBTA and Keolis are putting traditional diesel on trial to test a cleaner, renewable fuel that could dramatically reduce train emissions. It’s part of a quiet but urgent push to give rail passengers a healthier ride. But what exactly is this new fuel? Why does this moment feel like a turning point for rail travel in the region? And most crucially — how will MBTA and Keolis decide if this bold pilot is worth scaling across the entire network? Let’s find out in today’s episode of Great Train Speed. Urgent Environmental and Health Impacts of Diesel Locomotives in Newburyport, Massachusetts Boston train is getting new Fuel, and it's important than you think In 2024, Massachusetts Senator Edward Markey and other Representatives Summer Lee urged the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to update national air pollution standards for locomotives to protect rail workers and nearby communities. They highlighted that current standards haven’t been revised since 2008 and that many locomotives still emit uncontrolled pollution. Additionally, 40 members called on the Department of Transportation and the EPA to prioritize unionized labor in green train transition programs. The letter stresses the health risks posed by outdated diesel locomotives and calls for stronger regulations. Boston train is getting new Fuel, and it's important than you think Since 2008, the EPA has failed to modernize its rules, despite overwhelming scientific evidence showing that diesel exhaust harms air quality, accelerates climate change, and worsens public health. By 2016, nearly half of all locomotive emissions in the U.S. were going unregulated, and the burden has fallen hardest on communities, especially those living near rail lines, where the air is often thick with the exhaust of outdated engines. In Massachusetts, that urgency is echoed by environmental justice advocates like the Sierra Club and community-based organizations. Their message is simple: electrify the MBTA commuter rail system. While federal action moves slowly, the Commonwealth is stepping forward—adopting policies like the Advanced Clean Truck rule and expanding electric vehicle incentives to cut emissions from trucks and buses. Most importantly, the MBTA has committed to fully electrifying its commuter rail system by 2035.
