New England Railroad Club Meeting
The New England Railroad Club and NESCAUM, on behalf of the
Northeast Diesel Collaborative, organized a "green technologies" panel
for the annual "Mechanical Night" meeting of its
members. On January 26, 2006, approximately 125 members of
the club gathered for a panel on "Saving Fuel and Reducing
Emissions with 'Green' Locomotive Technologies" that included
presentations on NEDC, fuels and technologies, and a retrofit
demonstration project with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority's (MBTA) commuter rail.
