Award Description: Invest the 2009 ARRA Formula allocation of $2,492,107 to purchase one 1 locomotive to replace locomotive # 801. The original locomotives were manufactured in the mid 1960's and were manufactured in the mid 1960's and were last remanufactured in 1988. They lack any fuel efficient technology and are not required to meet any EPA emission requirements. Due to the design of the HEP unit, these locomotives consume excessive fuel. The locomotives have an approximate expecred useful life of 25 years. A Federal ratio of 100/0 will apply. The new locomotives will meet the Clean Air Act standards (CAA) and the American with Disabilites Act (ADA) requirements.
