The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is considering waiving its Buy America requirements for the purchase of used locomotives that would be converted to run on cleaner energy like electricity or renewable diesel. These efforts aim to replace older, more polluting locomotives with efficient alternatives, reducing emissions and creating domestic jobs.

The FRA invites public comments on this proposal and suggestions regarding waivers for other products related to manufacturing locomotive batteries or charging stations.
