CSX K442 pulls north from the siding at Rankin, Kentucky
CSX K442 starts to pull away from the north end of the siding at Rankin, Kentucky as it makes its way south on the Henderson Subdivision on May 7th, 2021 with Canadian Pacific 9736 leading an empty ethanol train with Progress Rail 7205 (SD70ACe-T4), trailing behind.
According to Wikipedia: Progress Rail Locomotives, doing business as Electro-Motive Diesel is an American manufacturer of diesel-electric locomotives, locomotive products, and diesel engines for the rail industry.
The company is owned by Caterpillar through its subsidiary Progress Rail. Electro-Motive Diesel traces its roots to the Electro-Motive Engineering Corporation, a designer and marketer of gasoline-electric self-propelled rail cars founded in 1922 and later renamed Electro-Motive Company.
In 1930, General Motors purchased Electro-Motive Company and the Winton Engine Co. and in 1941 expanded EMC�s realm to locomotive engine manufacturing as Electro-Motive Division.
In 2005, GM sold EMD to Greenbriar Equity Group and Berkshire Partners, which formed Electro-Motive Diesel to facilitate the purchase. In 2010, Progress Rail completed the purchase of Electro-Motive Diesel from Greenbriar, Berkshire, and others.
