Fuel Ef ficiency
In addition to acquiring and remanufacturing more efficient locomotives, we explore technologies such as natural gas-fueled
locomotives and ultra-low emission switch locomotives to help us continue to make efficient use of natural resources. Over
the past 10 years, we’ve come a long way in our ability to move a ton of freight further with the same amount of fuel.
