Gauging Our EHS Sustainability Performance
Amtrak EHS Annual Report 2010 | 8
Detailed measurements were to be taken on the P32 locomotive at the end of 12
months so any impact of the biodiesel fuel on valves and gaskets could be
measured.
The Heartland Flyer biodiesel trial was highlighted in TIME magazine’s list of “The
50 Best Inventions of 2010” in the Nov. 22 issue. Other inventions honored
included the Apple iPad and a flying car from Terrafugia.

Backflow Prevention Testing Program
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Amtrak reached an agreement
on a program of in-house testing of all backflow prevention devices on Amtrak
property.
Deployment of Phase I of Amtrak’s major facilities potable water point Cross-
Connection Program (CCP) began in early 2010 and is expected to be completed
by the end of 2011. Phase 2, which deals with Amtrak’s minor facilities potable
water point CCP, will focus on Amtrak’s outlying facilities and will begin
implementation during 2011.
