ALBERTVILLE, Ala. — Progress Rail will provide new locomotives for Egyptian National Railways and and modernize, overhaul, and maintain part of the existing ENR locomotive fleet under a Memoradum of Understanding announced Tuesday.

“We value the strong, collaborative relationship we have with ENR, and look forward to putting a plan in place to modernize their locomotive fleet with highly advanced locomotive electronics, quality components and state-of-the-art technologies. These innovations will work in tandem to take their existing fleet to the next level through optimized performance,” Progress Rail President and Chief Executive Officer William (Billy) Ainsworth said in a press release.
