Rolling Stock Solutions is poised to assist North America’s commuter rail operations to meet a critical demand for locomotive power by rebuilding F40PH models from the ground up with a new, 20-year service life.
It’s critical for commuter rail operators to understand the process we’re taking is not a standard overhaul. We’re completely stripping our locomotives down to the sub frame and rebuilding them, integrating new safety and technological improvements to provide safer, more reliable locomotives for the train crew and commuter rail passengers. Taking this approach ensures that each locomotive is rebuilt to the latest FRA safety standards along with reduced maintenance requirements, improved reliability, and enhanced performance.
Throughout the remanufacturing process RSS will provide regular detailed updates starting with the work being undertaken to completely rebuild the locomotive cab. The new crashworthy cab and nose assembly being installed in the video meets the FRA and AAR S-580 requirements.
RSS is proud to welcome James Yung as Locomotive Services Manager, bringing decades of experience to support seamless fleet integration and reliable leasing operations.
RSS is gaining industry attention with its rebuilt F40PH program, delivering like-new locomotives with modern performance, lower emissions, and a 20-year lifecycle.
RSS CEO Phil Puccia recently spoke at the New England Railroad Club’s Annual Purchasing Night Dinner, sharing how flexible leasing helps agencies meet urgent power needs without long procurement timelines.
