Rolling Stock Solutions

Rolling Stock Solutions is a new leasing platform focused exclusively on delivering proven, like-new locomotive power to U.S.commuter rail agencies facing challenges to replace and improve an aging locomotive fleet. The company was created to help commuter rail agencies meet an urgent service delivery challenge – replacing end-of-life diesel-electric locomotives with new capacity which is cleaner and more reliable than the aging locomotives in their fleet. RSS will deliver locomotive power to commuter rail agencies from a fleet of proven-model locomotives which are completely rebuilt to a like-new condition under standard industry specifications. The initial RSS fleet will include fully overhauled F40PH locomotives. Our locomotives will be cleaner (less NOx, hydrocarbon, and PM10 emissions), quieter, and more reliable than most of the commuter rail locomotives in service today – and, because they are standard specification, RSS locomotives can seamlessly integrate agencies’ existing fleet operations and maintenance programs. The electronics package on RSS locomotives is fully rebuilt to enable the installation and integration of an agency’s positive train control (PTC) system. RSS will provide rail agencies with locomotive power solutions under duration-flexible lease alternatives, giving them – in essence – immediate power on demand to address their most urgent fleeting requirements. RSS locomotives will be 100% Buy America compliant, and RSS locomotive lease contracts will be eligible for FTA capital investment funding.
