In this study, it is demonstrated that the performance of a conventional diesel engine can be matched by a natural gas engine, particularly at higher engine loads. Locomotive engines running with natural gas can reduce pollutants emission significantly. Further, the gas operation offers the promise of lower operating costs through reduced engine repairs, less frequent overhaul requirements and longer engine life.
