Port Of LA Air Pollution

What I do at work keeps filtering into the real world:
And that particulate pollution is about to get worse. In light of a court ruling two weeks ago that allows trains to continue to idle on the tracks near Wilmington, pouring diesel fumes into the air hour after hour, a new application by Union Pacific to expand their truck-train hub is attracting more criticism. The company filed an application in March that would double the capacity of its Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF), but the L.A. Board of Harbor Commissioners rejected it, demanding that Union Pacific adopt new environmental standards. Community activists expect a revised application to be resubmitted any day now.
