BELLEVUE, Ohio — Three units in the latest order for AC44C6M locomotive rebuilds make a short layover in Bellevue, Ohio, today (Friday, Dec. 6). The diesels are en route from Wabtec’s Fort Worth, Texas, factory to the company’s main facility in Erie, Pa., for final testing. Norfolk Southern ordered 330 of the locomotives, rebuilt from Dash 9-44CW units, in 2022; that order is slated to be complete next year, giving NS more than 950 such rebuilds including those built previously [see “Wabtec to modernize 330 locomotives …,” Trains News Wire March 23, 2022].
