Manufactured in Pennsylvania, the first GE Transportation locomotive was unloaded Tuesday

Manufactured in Pennsylvania, the first GE Transportation locomotive was unloaded Tuesday at the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk. The next is to arrive in two weeks. The entire order of 30 – about $140 million worth – is to be here by spring. “Welcome the first TE33AC General Electric on Ukrainian soil!” tweeted Ukrzaliznytsia chairman Evhen Kravtsov, who is under pressure to improve freight service. On Friday, the first locomotive rolls 500 km north to Kremenchuk, Poltava region for a final fit out at the Kryukivsky Railcar Building Plant. For the first deliveries, localization is 10%, a rate that is to increase to 40% during the 15-year, 225-locomotive supply contract.
