After presenting the significance of GHG emissions from locomotives as a proportion of total railway emissions, the paper will survey current developments by the North American railways to reduce and eventually eliminate GHG emissions from their freight locomotives. This involves three broad strategies - further fuel efficiency, the use of bio fuels and advanced technology for new locomotives - and how they might be adopted in light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty rail service.
