Article Quote:
"Councilmember Lauren Walker asked about the other offer. Hardy acknowledged that another party had inspected it, but Hardy said the cost to repair it would be so high that he did not think it was feasible. In addition, the locomotive does not meet current United States Environmental Protection Agency emission standards. Upgrading it to meet them would further drive up the cost for a purchaser seeking to put it into use."

...and where can we find the EPA Emissions Standards for railroad locomotives??

Not sure that would be an issue, but here:

• Locomotives: With some limited exceptions, the regulations apply to all diesel line-haul, passenger, and switch locomotives that operate extensively within the United States including newly manufactured locomotives and remanufactured locomotives that were originally manufactured after 1972.

Any Alco would not be effected by the new rules. MLW might be however.
