In California, Pacific Harbor Line has entered into a development agreement with Remora, a Michigan-based climate technology startup that is pioneering mobile carbon capture for freight rail and trucking.
PHL, which provides rail transportation, maintenance and dispatching services to both Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, is also an investor in Remora, and Peter A. Gilbertson, president and CEO of PHL’s parent company, Anacostia Rail Holdings, serves as an advisor.
The partnership aligns with PHL’s long-standing commitment to innovation, environmental stewardship, and practical pathways toward decarbonization of freight rail operations.
That initial success was followed by an evolution to Tier 3+ locomotives and then a conversion to renewable diesel fuel which cut CO₂ emissions by some 70 percent. PHL also operated a zero emission (ZE) EMD® Joule battery-electric locomotive from Progress Rail in test service, and it currently operates a Tier 4 locomotive.
