Happier News from Fullerton

A Fullerton startup retrofits old locomotives to reduce their emissions

The locomotive that arrived at the Anaheim rail yard earlier this year, a workhorse of North Carolina’s passenger rail service [note, ex-GO Transit 521], has seen better days. Its green paint is smeared with soot. Its enormous diesel fuel tank is coated with grime from feeding the 3,000-horsepower engine that has pulled its 260,000-pound body and a train of six passenger cars for 27 years.

Yet despite its aged appearance, the F59PH could last for more than a million miles of travel – and become less of a polluter than it was when originally built.
