Description
Just in time to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Newport News shipyard by a railroad magnate, Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding has bought its first new locomotive since 1963. The 700-horsepower, four-stroke diesel locomotive was built by Illinois-based National Rail and Equipment Corp. and will replace two of the three GE 50-ton locomotives used in the shipyard for decades to move parts of aircraft carriers and submarines around, and sometimes to pull cars that serve as parts storage.
