LOS ANGELES ­– Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner trains will now operate on renewable diesel fuel, the LOSSAN rail agency, which manages the service, announced Oct. 3. Renewable diesel is chemically similar to fossil diesel but made from renewable raw materials such as used cooking oil, instead of crude oil. The Pacific Surfliner operates between San Diego, Los Angeles and San Luis

    Not to be a pedant, but how exactly does Amtrak plan on renewing that “diesel”? I was expecting to see some kind of carbon sequestration for the way they’ve marketed it, not just toss some fry oil in the tank and call it a day
