R. J. Corman Railpower


Up to 60% Reduction In Fuel Cost.

Power-On-Demand - Power When You Need It Our RP Series offers GenSet technology that uses two or three modular "generator" driven tier III 2,000 horsepower engines that start-up based on the locomotive's power needs. So based on throttle position, one, two, three or even four GenSets will be brought online. Switching Applications Fuel savings are seen in applications when only one or two GenSets are required, an advantage over one large constantly running conventional engine. This is especially cost effective in SWITCHING OPERATIONS, where all three GenSets are not needed. Auto-Start-Stop System - Save Fuel While Idling Based on five minutes of inactivity the locomotive will shut itself off without operators assistance. FREEZE PROTECTION the locomotive will automatically restart to maintain ideal temperature to protect against freezing, battery discharge and will maintain air-brake pressure when attached to a train - all without an operators assistance. Because R. J. Corman is not only a GenSet locomotive manufacturer but also a shortline railroad owner/operator, with nine operations in six states, you are guaranteed all future innovations will be DEVELOPED BY RAILROADERS FOR RAILROADERS. R. J. Corman Railroad Company Case Study On three separate "local" runs we found one RP20BD could replace two GP9's or one GP39. We realized a 31 - 35% FUEL SAVINGS on each run and reduced the number of locomotives needed to service our customers.
