LOS ANGELES – (INT) – Metrolink is setting forth its Climate Action Plan in which it’s transitioning to renewable fuel and planning a zero-emissions future.

Metrolink Board Chairman Ara Najarian says all its locomotives are powered with non-petroleum fuel sources becoming the first railroad in the nation to make the switch.

A ceremony celebrating the change is planned for April 13th at Union Station.
