First Railserve Tier 4 DUAL LEAF® Gen-Set Locomotive Placed in Service

June 7, 2017
No Comments

ATLANTA—June 7, 2017—(James Street Media Services)—The first Railserve Tier 4 DUAL LEAF® Gen-Set Locomotive has been placed in service. The unit is performing well for a Railserve customer and generating more interest in the powerful switching locomotives that provide significant reductions in fuel use and emissions.

"Although our Tier 4 DUAL LEAF locomotive looks identical to previous models, users will notice better operating performance and reduced environmental impacts," said TJ Mahoney, Railserve LEAF program manager.

Railserve produces the updated locomotives at the company's manufacturing facility in Longview, Texas in compliance with federal Tier 4 environmental regulations.

The DUAL LEAF was developed for shippers, industrial railroads, and short line railroads that operate where there is a need for high-tractive effort at speeds up to 30 mph. Like the original DUAL LEAF, the Tier 4 units are cost-effective at high-utilization rates, and their operation is nearly indistinguishable for crews accustomed to widely used SW or GP-type locomotives.

Railserve continues to equip its DUAL LEAF models with two Cummins QSX15 engines, upgraded for Tier-4 compliance. Because the footprint of the Tier 4 Cummins engines are similar, there was no need for the locomotive to be redesigned.

As compared with conventional units, the new DUAL LEAF Tier 4-compliant locomotives will cut particulate emissions by 99% and NOx emissions by 92%. Fuel economy is expected to also improve.

Ocean Sector Shaping the Next Shipageddon

DCV-TV 4: Viewer Contributed
If you're a shipper, it's never good when a rep for an ocean carrier tells you, "You better sit down before you read this." We've been seeing astoundingly high increases in the ocean sector and they seem to have staying power. While the ocean carriers used blank sailings last year to tip the balance of supply and...
