Powering freight’s destination to zero

Building on successful sales of KLW EPA Tier 4 certified and CARB verified locomotives across the US, KLW has recently completed the remanufacture of an existing line-haul freight locomotive utilizing the Cummins 4,400 horsepower Tier 4 certified QSK95 engine system. The locomotive also employs a CAF Power & Automation AC traction system along with components from other rail industry suppliers.
