Progress Rail locomotives delivered to Tunisia
Written by Keith Barrow, Senior Editor, International Railway Journal
Tunisian National Railways (SNCFT) has taken delivery of an initial batch of 10 Progress Rail GT42AC diesel locomotives, which will be used to haul phosphate trains.
SNCFT awarded Progress Rail a $54 million contract in December 2016 to supply 20 of the six-axle meter-gauge locomotives, which are being built at the Progress Rail plant in Muncie, Ind.
The order is being financed by a consortium of Tunisian and international lenders.
