SACRAMENTO - (INT) - The California Air Resources Board has fined one of the largest providers of rail and transit products and services in North America, Progress Rail, $390,733 for failing to meet compliance deadlines for cleaning up cargo handling equipment and to submit required annual reports.

The company was in violation at four of its California locations: ports and/or intermodal rail yards in Oakland, San Bernardino, San Diego and Terminal
Island (Los Angeles).

“Mobile cargo handling equipment is powered by diesel-fueled engines that emit toxic particulate matter, which, if not controlled, can cause health problems,” said ARB Enforcement Chief Jim Ryden.
