Equipment we buy and sell

Locomotives

Diesel locomotives for short lines, industrial plants and rail-served businesses, in the U.S. and for export.

We buy and sell diesel locomotives for short line and regional railroads, industrial plants and rail-served businesses that move their own cars.

Along with our own units, we can source from more than 700 locomotives held by partners and other owners.

Tell us the work the unit will do, whether road service, yard switching or moving a few cars a day at a plant, and we will recommend units that fit the job and the budget.
