Progressive Railroading Magazine Discusses Stadco Products
We were recently featured in an article in Progressive Railroading Magazine, and our own Travis Stauffer was quoted.
In the article Locomotive Engine Upgrades Reflect Pending Emission Regulations, Evolving Fuel Trends, writer Angela Cotey discusses the state of the locomotive engine industry and how various stakeholders are aiming to meet new Tier 4 regulations that will soon be in effect.
Travis talks about using new Cummins engines and the benefits of Stadco Railgen diesel generators.
Regarding Stadco generators, Cotey writes:
The company’s GenSets currently feature Deutz Tier 3 engines. When manufacturing Tier 4-compliant GenSets, the company will be able to use either Deutz or Cummins engines.
The Deutz engine will feature dual SCR and will not require exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), which means Stauffer will not have to increase the size of the cooling system when it builds the GenSet.
“It will basically be the same footprint, so if a customer is looking to replace an older unit, we can put in the Tier 4 unit with only minor changes,” Travis Stauffer says.
The Cummins engine will require an entirely new design process, but the company is “excited about the ability to give the customer a choice of product that meets their requirement,” he says.
