The cows came from Texas. The P32-8 engine did need not much modification to accept the biofuel
Amtrak will also gather and analyze data on the locomotive's exhaust. Roy Deitchman, Amtrak vice president of environmental, health and safety, in a statement:
Amtrak travel is already more energy efficient than most other forms of intercity transportation. If the test shows this use of a renewable fuel in our locomotive is successful, its a home run for our passengers, for our partners and for the planet.
Each day Amtrak runs more than 300 trains over about 21,000 miles of track in North america. Should B20 become functionally and economically feasible,
that could be a lot of cows. That would also be a lot less pollution. In the name of reducing emissions and fuel usage,
