For more than 90 years, we have designed and manufactured locomotives unmatched in value and innovation. In fact, we have delivered 65,000 EMD®-powered locomotives to more than 75 countries around the globe. While these are impressive, our new F125 high-speed passenger locomotive offers impressive numbers of its own. It’s the first new EPA Tier 4 passenger locomotive to be sold in the world. At 125 mph, it’s the highest performing diesel-electric locomotive in North America. And, while offering 4,700 horsepower, it still weighs only 280,000 pounds. We’ve packaged important safety features into this powerhouse including Crash Energy Management (CEM), using advanced world-class engineering techniques from Stadler Rail—our partner in the design and manufacture of this high-speed locomotive. Powered by a Cat® C175 engine, our new F125 passenger locomotive is fast, clean, and efficient. It also complies with “Buy America” regulations. Our long and diverse manufacturing history, the breadth and depth of our combined engineering experience and the unique way they come together make for an impressive story. And also make for impressive numbers.

Progress Rail is proud to offer the EMD® Joule series of fully battery-powered locomotives, including the SD70J-BB model boasting more than double the energy storage of competing products.
Learn MoreThe EMD® 22L locomotive, which is currently operating in Tasmania, was custom engineered for Australia’s lighter axle load branch lines, and offers a range of 15.75 to 18 TAL. It integrates the Cat® 3512C HD engine, providing exceptional power and fuel efficiency, and a microprocessor control system.
Learn MoreThe EMD® GT-Series locomotive platform includes GT38AC, GT42AC and GT46AC models. These locomotives integrate EMD® 710-Series engines together with AC traction technology to provide superior efficiency and performance for a broad range of operations. We pioneered development of AC traction for heavy haul diesel-electric locomotives, and today thousands of EMD® AC locomotives operate worldwide providing enhanced adhesion performance and lower life cycle costs.
