"India has been such an amazing example of a rapid transition of a diesel rail system to an electric rail system. It's a great model for the U.S. to look at because India had a lot of diesel rail already, and the U.S. is in a similar boat."
"The motivation to phase out diesel trains isn't solely to address climate change and reduce the health impacts from pollution. Electric trains are less expensive to operate and can carry more freight or haul more passenger cars than diesel locomotives."
"More than 12,000 miles of track were electrified in India between 2011 and 2020, and another 12,000 miles were electrified from 2020 to 2023. India's prime minister set a really clear directive that he wanted India to get to 100% electric rail."
