BNSF to Acquire Four 'Cabless' Hybrid Switchers
BNSF Railway Co. and RailPower Technologies Corp. announced May 23 that the Class I will continue to operate a 2,000-horsepower hybrid Green Goat switcher for five more years in the L.A. area, as well as acquire four remote-controlled Green Goats for switching yard operations in Texas, reports Progressive Railroading.
RailPower expects to deliver the four GG20B "cabless" locomotives later this year. The switchers will feature remote-control systems to enable the units to be controlled onboard or trackside. BNSF previously obtained a clean-air grant from the state of Texas to implement technology designed to reduce air emissions.
