Home News Archive 2016-06-30 - [US] First Brightline Charger receives engine

On June 28, Brightline announced that the first of the ten Charger locomotives it has on order has been equipped with its Cummins QSK95 diesel engine. The 16-cylinder Cummins QSK95 engine weighs 31,000 pounds and is certified to meet the ultra-low emissions required by EPA Tier 4 standards. Installation took approximately six hours during which the engine was lowered into the locomotive by an overhead crane.


Built as integrated trainsets, Brightline’s trains are comprised of two locomotives and four high quality stainless steel passenger cars. The trains can be extended to include up to 10 passenger cars as the system and ridership grows. The first completed trainset is expected to be delivered to Brightline later this year.
