The 20 additional units, to be built at MotivePower’s facility in Boise, Idaho, will be delivered beginning late this year. Wabtec says the locomotives will contain components produced by Wabtec and its other subsidiaries, including braking equipment, relays, contactors, air compressors, brake shoes, and radiators.
“This order is a nice addition to our backlog and reflects our leading role in the commuter locomotive market,” said Wabtec President and CEO Albert J. Neupaver.
