Unlikely to pass

This bill is in the early stages and only has support from one party. Most bills that only ask for a study do not become law unless they are added to a larger package.

Key Points

This bill tells the Federal Railroad Administration to study how to move the country toward electric trains. It would look at both passenger trains and the freight trains that carry products to stores.
The government would map out all current rail lines to see what kind of power they use now. They would then figure out which tracks are the best candidates for electric power or other clean energy technologies.
Officials would have to talk with railroad companies, state governments, and tribal leaders to get their advice. This helps make sure the plan works for the people who actually run and live near the railroads.
To save money, the agency is required to use the information and tools it already has. A progress report is due in one year, and a final report with all the findings must be finished in two years.
