Locomotive service and parts supplier Motive Power Resources (MPR) has completed its first locomotive overhaul at its recently completed heavy overhaul and repair facility in Minooka, IL. The rebuilt locomotive is an EMD SD38, fully upgraded with a ZTR Nexus system, newly rebuilt mechanicals and a host of upgrades. The locomotive has been shipped from Minooka, IL to MPR’s customer, Ardent Mills in Easton, Pennsylvania.
MPR’s new locomotive overhaul center contains approximately 30,000 square feet of heavy locomotive overhaul and repair space, 5,000 square foot of remodeled office and administrative space, all new track construction and a new 12,000 square foot warehouse to accommodate new, rebuilt and qualified parts and components.
“With our new facility, fully able to accommodate complete locomotive rebuild projects, wreck repairs and specialty locomotive projects to customer specifications, we feel this is a natural extension of our growing list of product offerings,” said Steve Bomba, President of MPR.
