MONTREAL — Railpower Technologies Corp. said Wednesday that Norfolk Southern Railway has ordered two road switcher locomotives for delivery in 2006 with an option for additional units.
Financial terms of the deal were not released.
Under the deal, Norfolk Southern will convert two of its conventional locomotives with kits from Railpower for the model RP20BD road switcher, which includes all components, drawings, and assembly support.
Railpower’s RP-Series road switchers use less fuel and produces lower nitrogen oxides and other particulate emissions.
