New locomotive deliveries begin in 2015 with ‘Credit User’ provision

Is EMD doing the same thing? And has any agency conducted a cost-benefit analysis on the Tier 4 regulations? Are they really necessary, or is this more government over-reach from the extremists at EPA?

This article would benefit from a definition of how these credits are generated

The EMD Tier 4 debacle just never ends. Almost 900 new locomotives ordered by US railways from GE for 2015 delivery. Zero to EMD. Caterpillar needs to clean house at EMD. Billy Ainsworth is out of his league. At least CP and NS will be buying 710 engines for their rebuild programs.

Apart from the Metrolink F125’s, some Mexican-built SD70ACe and some (rumored) SD30C-ECO’s for CP, does EMD has anything else planned for delivery in 2015? Looks like this new shop in Muncie is about to go real quiet!

Why didn’t EMD use the same technique to continue delivering Tier 3 SD70ACe’s, at least during the first quarter of 2015?

more over reach from the EPA!!

More overeach from the epa huh…Proud Caterpillar & Norfolk Southern stockholder.
