Subject: AB32 Investment plan for CNG/Hybrid Commuter Locomotives
Comment:
CNG/Hybrid locomotive system public comments and attachment submitted by David Cook at Energy Conversions and use the AB32 funds as an investment to move this technology forward. Further it would be a good idea to make this a project pursuant to SB170 ( Pavley ) where the funding agencies get a return on investment as these systems get sold across North America, these returned funds could be used to offset the costs to perform the upgrades to California base commuter locomotives. The Napa Valley Wine Train has been partnering with Energy Conversions since 2004 when we performed one of the first Diesel to 100% Natural Gas locomotive conversions. Over the past ten years, when used to perform our 36 mile train excursions, our NVR73 100% CNG Locomotive has displaced over 200K gallons of diesel fuel. I have attached an updated CNG Hybrid Commuter Article for your review. Anthony Giaccio, CEO/CFO Napa Valley Wine Train, Inc. winetrain.com
