As a follow-up to the June 17th announcement on proposed Locomotive Emissions Regulations :
In the June 18th edition of Gazette 1, the Government of Canada published proposed Locomotive Emissions Regulations, under the Railway Safety Act, to control CAC emissions from locomotives. The Proposed Regulations would come into force on the day in which they are registered and would apply to railway companies as they are defined in the railway safety act. Locomotive emission standards would be specified for smoke opacity and air pollutant emissions. Other requirements for controlling idling, labelling, testing, record keeping and reporting would also be specified.
