All aboard for a greener tomorrow—discover how train travel is helping protect the planet, one ride at a time.

🚆 A New Era of Sustainable Travel Begins

From breathtaking coastlines to bustling cities, train travel offers an unforgettable way to explore the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Now, your journeys are not only scenic—they’re sustainable too. With the launch of Amtrak’s eco-friendly locomotives, we’re taking a bold step toward a greener future for American rail.

Whether you’re a weekend explorer, daily commuter, or first-time train traveler, here’s why your next ride is good for you—and great for the planet.

🌱 What Makes These Locomotives Eco-Friendly?

Amtrak’s new Siemens Charger locomotives are Tier 4-certified, meaning they meet the strictest EPA standards for emissions. Compared to older engines, these new locomotives:

• 🌍 Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%
• 💨 Emit fewer particulates and pollutants
• ⛽ Use less fuel thanks to advanced engine technology
• 🔊 Operate quieter, creating a more peaceful ride for passengers and communities along the route

These modern machines are not only better for the environment—they’re more reliable, energy-efficient, and designed for a smoother travel experience.

💡 Why Train Travel is Already a Greener Choice

Even before the switch to low-emission locomotives, Amtrak trains were already one of the most eco-friendly modes of transportation in the U.S. Compared to cars and planes, trains use significantly less fuel per passenger mile and produce far fewer carbon emissions.

Now, with the addition of next-generation technology, your choice to ride the rails is making an even bigger impact.

🌎 Supporting Cleaner Communities

These locomotives don’t just benefit the planet—they directly improve the air quality in the cities and small towns we serve. That means cleaner skies, healthier neighborhoods, and quieter environments for everyone along the way.

So whether you’re rolling into Portland, gliding past the Puget Sound, or arriving in Chicago’s Union Station, you’re helping reduce your footprint—without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

🧳 Ride Smarter. Travel Greener.

Sustainable travel isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. By choosing Amtrak, you’re part of a movement to preserve our landscapes, protect public health, and reduce our national carbon output. And with the added comfort, speed, and reliability of our upgraded engines, there’s never been a better time to ride.
