Does anybody have any links to more detailed information on this California lawsuit?  I can'f find much on it.  As someone (Paul North, I think) mentioned, curtailing locomotive idling does not seem like a big burden since it is a warm climate and freeze-up is not an issue.  I would have thought that the railroads would have already eliminated idling if the sites are particularly prone to smog and poor air quality.  They have new systems these days that are designed to eliminate idling.  The electrification would be a big burden depending on the extent.  I would like to know what that extent it.  The lawsuit wants electification in urban areas.  What urban areas?  Are we talking about all California urban areas? Surely there must be more details on this issue.  I would like to get an idea of the cost for complying with the terms of this lawsuit.  Are we talking ten-million dollars or more like a half-billion dollars?  If we are talking about electifying all the urban areas of California, I could see the price tag being 20-billion dollars or more.
