en.Wedoany.com Reported - CPKC has recently completed a multi-year locomotive order with Wabtec, taking delivery of the 170th and final Evolution Series ET44AC Tier 4 locomotive, marking a significant milestone in the renewal of the company's mainline locomotive fleet.

All of these new locomotives are equipped with advanced traction control systems and efficient cooling systems, powered by Tier 4 diesel engines certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Compared to Tier 3 diesel locomotives, this model is expected to significantly reduce emissions of air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, while improving fuel economy and operational reliability, and helping to lower the overall emissions impact of CPKC's operations.

As part of this multi-year capital plan, CPKC has invested in locomotives from two of the world's leading manufacturers. With the completion of Wabtec's deliveries, CPKC will next advance its fleet renewal program in collaboration with Progress Rail, including 30 new EMD® SD70ACe-T4 Tier 4 freight locomotives, expected to be delivered from Progress Rail's facility in Muncie, Indiana, in the second half of 2026. These 30 locomotives are part of a larger order from Progress Rail, which includes a total of 65 new Tier 4 locomotives.
