Batteries Included

There is a new locomotive on New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) rail network, and it’s charged up to support the subway maintenance operations. Wabtec’s new R255 Hybrid Battery-Diesel Work Locomotives can reduce – and under some circumstances eliminate – fuel emissions during subway construction, maintenance, and repairs, especially during extended periods at a work site. The approximately 500-kwh locomotives can work in “battery only” mode within confined work zones for up to eight hours. The batteries also can move work trains that must operate at job sites where third rail power is removed for safety.

See the behind-the-scenes story on how this new locomotive was developed and tested.
