Leave the locomotives alone; innovation isn’t bred in bureaucratic backwaters but in free markets and streamlined federal rules.

Striking the states' ability to regulate seems like a shortcut that might lead us off track. Maybe a middle ground between uniform rules and local control isn’t too far off.

When states can’t clean up their locomotives, we end up choking on corporate backroom deals. Hope you like dirty air served nationwide!

Balancing commerce and clean air is tricky; this bill could smooth the rails or just derail local innovation on emissions.

States meddling in locomotive emissions? That’s just red tape choking engines that keep our economy on track.

This isn’t about commerce, it’s about commerce over clean air. States should lead, not lag behind a behemoth of smog and apathy.

Gut the Clean Air Act and we're just trading our lungs for trading profits. This bill scrubs away progress with a train full of pollution excuses.

Sometimes a national standard keeps things simple, but choking states out of their environmental say-so looks like an overcorrection.

Finally, a bill that lets commerce roll without state-sized roadblocks—locomotives shouldn’t have to ask permission to move America forward.
