WYOMING
PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT
OUR COMMITMENT TO CLIMATE ACTION
Through these initiatives, G&W will achieve our ambitious science-based GHG reduction target.
Increase fuel efficiency through
carbon-reduction technologies
Across our fleet, we are investing
in fuel-saving technologies,
including:
1
Automatic Engine Start/Stop
(AESS) systems
Auxiliary Power Units (APUs)
• Fuel sensors
We estimate annual reductions
of 2,500 metric tons of GHG
emissions (CO₂e) from the
installation and implementation of
AESS technology on over 13% of
our fleet.
We estimate annual reductions
of 8,500 metric tons of GHG
emissions (CO2e) from the
implementation of APUs on almost
26% of our fleet.

Invest in new, more
fuel-efficient locomotives
To achieve our climate goals, we
will need to continue to upgrade
and enhance our fleet. Over the last
five years, approximately 11%
of our North American fleet has
been replaced, overhauled,
modified, or upgraded - contributing
to an estimated 3-5% fuel savings
annually.
We are making the largest impact in
curbing our GHG emissions through
annual investment in more fuel-
efficient locomotives.
Between 2021 and 2025, we plan
to purchase more fuel-efficient
locomotives and retire less efficient
engines across our operations,
with a goal of saving an estimated
20,000 metric tons of GHG
emissions (CO2e) annually.

Advance the zero-emissions
fleet of the future
We know the transportation
sector plays a critical role in our
nation's decarbonization strategy
and cross-sector collaboration
will be essential to support the
transition to zero-emissions
railroads.
G&W is collaborating with
leaders in technology, academia,
and rail on numerous initiatives
to achieve our desired goals:
reduce our carbon emissions,
convert more shipments to rail,
and increase the efficiency of the
North American rail network.
We are also harnessing the power of real-time data with the installation of fuel sensors on our trains - ensuring that our locomotives are
performing at their highest efficiency by reporting the fuel efficiency for each locomotive and flagging outliers. We are currently testing two
different types of fuel sensors, and we anticipate that sensors will be fully deployed in our locomotive fleet over the next five years.
We have also developed fuel conservation policies covering a range of activities for reducing diesel usage. These policies were built for
our conductors and engineers and emphasize best practices such as shutting locomotives down, using dynamic braking, and properly
maintaining the engine.
