ETIHAD Rail, which is building a 1,200-km railway network in the UAE, has received the first two of seven locomotives from US-based Electro-Motive Diesel.
The locomotives arrived at Mussafah Port with construction on Stage One of the $11-billion rail project well under way. The two locomotives are the first rolling stock to arrive this year since the delivery of a batch of wagons last December, which together with the locomotives, will form the UAE’s first trains.
The locomotives will be moved to Etihad Rail’s site at Mirfa in the Western Region in preparation for the launch of Stage One, which will facilitate the transport of granulated sulphur from sources in Shah and Habshan to the port of Ruwais for export.
Meanwhile, Etihad Rail recently received the Strategic Project of the Year award at the Sixth Annual Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum in New York, US.
