Wabtec was awarded a $US 575m contract in 2017 to supply 100 locomotives including a 15-year parts and technical support package for both the new locomotives and units already supplied to ENR by GE Transportation, which is now owned by Wabtec.

The new locomotives are fitted with a 12-cylinder, 2.4MW engine. The locomotives have air-conditioned dual cabs, a full-width body, an ac traction system, single-axle control and dynamic brakes providing the ability to haul both passenger and freight trains.

Wabtec has a team of engineers working at ENR workshops and will also modernise some of ENR existing locomotives.
