The Railserve LEAF™ Gen-Set Rail Car Switching Locomotive
Efficient, Clean and Productive Technology
Rising fuel costs, environmental concerns, and the desire for more efficient operations have prompted rail shippers and receivers to seek alternatives to conventional locomotives for their in-plant rail switching operations. Railserve is excited about the potential of the proven gen-set technology and has designed and manufactured the Railserve LEAF™ locomotive to minimize fuel usage, reduce emissions, and enhance the performance of a conventional locomotive.
Railserve LEAF™ Locomotives
The Railserve LEAF™ Locomotive uses a single Detroit Diesel DX370M 550 hp Gen Set to minimize fuel usage and significantly reduce emissions while maintaining the performance of a traditional switching locomotive. The LEAF™ was created specifically for industrial in-plant and commercial yard switching applications. It maximizes tractive effort at speeds less than 10MPH.
Lower Emissions
The LEAF™ reduces NOx emissions and particulate matter 76% and uses an EPA Tier III Engine which meets the 2015 EPA emissions standards.
Lower Fuel Usage
The LEAF™ reduces fuel consumption 45-60% over a conventional locomotive.
Additional Benefits
- FRA compliant
- Eliminates Wet-Stacking and uses 75% less oil
- Onboard computer provides real-time engine performance reporting
- Traction control system minimizes wheel slip
- 10% lower decibel output than conventional locomotives
- Automatically shuts down if not moved after a variable pre-set time limit
- One button push start eliminates up to 30 minutes of startup preparation
- Same cab controls as conventional locomotives
- Uses readily available parts
