Bombardier to build 27 locomotives for NJ Transit
advertisement
Bombardier Transportation has won a $229 million contract from New Jersey Transit to provide 27 ALP-46A electric locomotives. The order includes options for an additional 33 locomotives.
The ALP-46As will be based on Bombardier's ALP-46 electric locomotives that NJ Transit has used since 2002. Designed to reach speeds up to 125 mph, the ALP-46As will feature improved acceleration and be powered by BOMBARDIER MITRAC propulsion and controls equipment.
NJ Transit plans to use the locomotives to expand capacity and haul specially designed multi-level commuter-rail cars. Bombardier will build the ALP-46As at its Kassel, Germany, plant and commence deliveries in fall 2009.
