Our EMD® SD70J-BB battery electric locomotive has arrived in Port Hedland!

This 265-tonne, 14.5 MWh powerhouse is the largest battery electric locomotive in the world and will support Fortescue's mining operations – driving sustainability and reducing emissions in heavy-haul rail.

Embarking from Sete Lagoas, Brazil, the locomotive made its way around South Africa before arriving in Western Australia.

We’re proud to solve our customers’ toughest challenges with advanced technologies that deliver performance, reliability, and efficiency.

Featured Image: A historic model EMD 16-184 pancake engine on display – the same powerhouse that drove the Navy’s 110-foot submarine chasers during World War II. Its unique design featured 16 cylinders arranged in four horizontal layers, delivering an impressive 1,200 HP. Remarkably, this 2-cycle engine weighed only about one-fifth as much as our 12-cylinder model 567 diesel locomotive engine. During the war, the Navy even established its own office of Inspector of Naval Machinery at our LaGrange, Ill., plant to support production.

We recently worked with the East Troy Railroad Museum to bring modern safety technology to a historic rail line in Wisconsin. Our roadway signal team installed a state-of-the-art crossing system at a key highway intersection—enhancing protection for both passengers and vintage railcars.

The East Troy Electric Railroad is one of the last remaining interurban electrified railroads in the U.S., and we are proud to support its mission of preservation while helping ensure a safer future.
