Locomotive emissions is not just a California concern. It is a nationwide issue as there are federal standards on diesel locomotive emissions.
It is also not a recent concern. During the era of steam locomotives some railroads frowned upon their engineers running their trains with lots of smoke. Air pollution inspectors would perform visual checks of smoke using charts showing different levels of darkness.
