Claim 17:
18. A scalable carbon capture system to allow for off-load of captured CO2 from an on-board locomotive CO2 capture device, the system comprising:
one or more CO2 armatures positioned at a rail station, each of the one or more CO2 armatures including:
a CO2 nozzle engageable with one or more of a locomotive CO2 port or a rail car CO2 port and, upon engagement with one of the one or more of the locomotive CO2 port or the rail car CO2 port, configurable to create a seal between the CO2 nozzle and the one of the one or more of the locomotive CO2 port or the rail car CO2 port, thereby to prevent CO2 from leaking during off-load of captured CO2 from an on-board vehicle CO2 capture device through the one of the one or more of the locomotive CO2 port or the rail car CO2 port and into the CO2 nozzle, and
a pipe having one end portion connected to the CO2 nozzle and another end portion and configured to transport captured CO2 therethrough from the CO2 nozzle to the another end portion;

a CO2 holding tank in fluid communication with the another end portion, the CO2 holding tank having a capacity to store the captured CO2 from the pipe, the CO2 holding tank including a delivery port, thereby to allow delivery from the CO2 holding tank; and
a meter, positioned in a fluid pathway defined at least in part by the pipe and the CO2 holding tank, to measure an amount of the CO2 transported from the on-board locomotive CO2 capture device to the CO2 holding tank.
