METROLINK 25th Anniversary Report
33
Further reducing its own carbon
footprint, Metrolink has installed
Automatic Engine Start/Stop
technology on its locomotives to
reduce idling and also installed
ground power at its maintenance
yards to further reduce idling and
noise while equipment is being
maintained.
"Reduce, reuse and recycle" is
a concept Metrolink abides by.
Most waste material is recycled.
Metrolink disposes and recycles
engine oil, antifreeze, oil filters, train
brakes and batteries and many
other parts in an environmentally
friendly way.
