The technical and economic viability of the use of LNG in freight, along with potential reductions in fuel costs, greenhouse gas and particulate emissions will be assessed.
BNSF is working with the two locomotive manufacturers, GE and EMD (a unit of Caterpillar), to develop the natural gas engine technology that will be used.
