GE Manufacturing Solutions has celebrated the 1,000th locomotive built at the Fort Worth site. The 1,000th locomotive is a GE Transportation Evolution® Series Tier 4 model for CN. Part of the ecomagination-certified Evolution Series, the new Tier 4 locomotive decreases emissions by more than 70 percent from Tier 3 technology meeting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s stringent Tier 4 emission standards.
GE Manufacturing Solutions completed assembly of its first locomotive, a Tier 3 model for Fort Worth-based BNSF Railway, in early 2013.
“This milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team here in Fort Worth. In less than four years, this team helped start up the GE Manufacturing Solutions facility and built 1,000 high-quality, competitive locomotives for our customers,” said Richard Simpson, vice president GE Transportation.
