First-of-its-kind zero-emissions train rolls into San Bernardino

San Bernardino County Transit Authority debuts its new zero-pollution passenger train, known as ZEMU, short for Zero Emission Multiple Unit. San Bernardino County Transit Authority presented the $20-million, 108-passenger train — the Zero Emission Multiple Unit, or ZEMU — at a public ceremony Thursday at the San Bernardino Depot Train Station. “The development of the train has solidified SBCTA’s place as an innovator in clean passenger rail here in the Inland Empire, throughout the state and the nation.” The train will serve the Arrow Line, a 9-mile transit line with five stops between downtown San Bernardino and the University of Redlands. “The addition of the first self-powered, zero-emission passenger train takes this progress even further, amplifying our university’s commitment to investing in clean energy.” ZEMU, a clean-energy train, arrives June 30 in San Bernardino.
