It is my opinion that EPA regulation of locomotive emissions (along with the emissions from farm tractors, drilling equipment, et al) is a complete waste of time and resources, since such pollution is statistically insignificant compared to the emissions of autos and trucks. Pollution regulations should be relegated to those areas of localized impact, and be fostered on those sources that are the most significant. I don't know of any John Deere tractors making a quantifiable contribution to the smog of LA or Houston. All such pinprick regulations do is to add to the artificial costs of U.S. production.
