WYOMING
PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT
Freight 2030
G&W has partnered with Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies
Corporation (Wabtec) and Carnegie Mellon University, one of the
world's leading technology and science institutions, in our pursuit to
develop a more sustainable rail network. This partnership - Freight
2030 aims to develop zero-emission locomotives and increase
freight utilization and safety across North America.
_
This unique venture also brings to life a novel effort to create the
Freight Rail Innovation Institute to assist with the development of
these technological advancements. Each of the partners brings
unique skills to help create and operationalize technologies for
battery-electric and hydrogen-powered locomotives.
Our Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad (B&P), which encompasses
over 200 miles of testing track with varied terrain as well as access
to a locomotive shop, is uniquely situated to support Freight 2030.
Having previously deployed a 'green' Genset locomotive, the B&P
was particularly excited to be part of additional environmental
advancements. B&P is working with the partners to identify grades,
curvatures, tunnels, and dimensions for consideration in the
development of the new technologies and expects to be piloting zero-
emissions battery engines and advancing hydrogen-powered trains
over the next three years. When ready, G&W plans to deploy these
revolutionary technologies in revenue service.

ā"While already the most environmentally friendly mode of surface transportation, freight
railroads have a critical role to play in our nation's decarbonization strategy. Through
the Freight 2030 partnership, we plan to transform the next generation of freight rail
transportation by adopting advanced technologies that can eliminate emissions and
increase rail utilization without requiring significant new rail infrastructure. The end
result will be a cleaner environment, more competitive transportation for our
nation's industrial producers, and a freight rail system that remains the most
efficient in the world." Jack Hellmann, CEO
