Summary

This bill requires the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to create a pilot program to make it easier for trains to switch between different power sources while operating in passenger and freight rail systems. The FRA must research integrating technologies like battery, electrification, hydrogen, and diesel, and address challenges such as cost or land needs. It must also develop rail car designs that allow rotation between power sources, including different electrification systems, and run demonstration projects to test these designs. Additionally, the FRA must conduct a study to identify locations where trains must be changed because their power source is not usable past that point. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the FRA must report to Congress on the pilot program results and the study findings.
