Florida East Coast Railway (FECR) is about to take delivery of the first of 24 new Tier 3 locomotives, acquired from GE Transportation (GE). The new locomotives will be used in thru-freight, heavy haul service on the railway’s 351-mile mainline route between Jacksonville, and Miami, Florida. The remainder of the locomotives will be placed in service by the end of 2014.
The ES44C4 locomotive, part of GE’s Evolution® Series, is designed to meet U.S. EPA Tier 3 emissions requirements using advanced engine technology that lowers fuel consumption and operating costs. These locomotives provide many benefits and are vital towards controlling NOx and particulate matter (PM) emissions.
