RX 500 Industrial Locomotives

  • Saves 1,000,000 gallons of fuel over the life of the locomotive
  • New AC Traction System provides up to 100% greater adhesion than the old DC system, while virtually eliminating wheelslip
  • Very low maintenance requirements
  • Simplified joy-stick control
  • Tier 3 engine for greatly reduced emissions
  • Modern patented design 

The RX500 is the only new locomotive designed exclusively for the industrial switching market. It incorporates the first major redesign of the industrial locomotive since diesel replaced steam over 60 years ago. The RX500, with up to 50,000 pounds of tractive effort, is the tractive equivalent of the EMD SW 1000/1200 or the GE 144 ton.
