Florida Rail Service To Run On Biodiesel - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com: "Biodiesel is making commuter rail traffic in south Florida a little greener.
Tri-Rail, the commuter rail service connecting Miami with Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, announced this week that it was beginning to power most of its trains with biodiesel made from palm and soy oil, depending on the availability of each feedstock.
According to The Palm Beach Post, it is one of the first systems in the nation to do so.
Tri-Rail said the new fuel would cost no more than regular diesel because while it runs about 7 percent less efficiently it costs 10 to 30 cents less a gallon."
