Railroad giant Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) said today it had ordered 30 Tier 4 locomotives from Progress Rail to be built in Indiana in 2026, continuing the renewal of its locomotive fleet as part of an ongoing, multi-year $800 million investment.

The order follows a previous order that will see the pending delivery of 70 Tier 4 units built in Texas by Wabtec, and also the purchase of 100 more Wabtec Tier 4 locomotives built in Texas in 2025.

More specifically, in January, CPKC expects to receive the first two of 70 Wabtec Evolution Series ET44AC Tier 4 locomotives being built this year for CPKC at the company's manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas. And in the second half of 2026, CPKC expects to take delivery of 30 new EMD SD70ACe-T4 Tier 4 freight locomotives to be manufactured at Progress Rail's facility in Muncie, Indiana. These locomotives are part of an order for 65 new Tier 4 locomotives to be built by Progress Rail.

"Our purchase of additional new Tier 4 locomotives, proudly made in the USA, continues CPKC's commitment to renew our locomotive fleet through a more than US$800 million investment in American manufacturing capacity," said Mark Redd, CPKC Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "We are investing in our road locomotive fleet for growth and to maintain our industry-leading service for our customers and the North American economy, powered by a fleet with improved reliability and fuel efficiency."
