RITES Gets $3.6 Million Export Order To Supply Overhauled ALCO Locomotives

RITES Ltd. has received a $3.6 million purchase order from African Rail Co. to supply two fully overhauled ALCO locomotives for use in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Botswana, the company said in an exchange filing late Tuesday.

The Cape Gauge diesel-electric locomotives, originally built by American Locomotive Co., will be overhauled and fitted with new bogies, traction motors, control systems, and air brakes. RITES will supply, commission, and provide warranty support for the equipment, which is to be delivered in nine months.
