Product Information:
The U34CH was the very first new American commuter diesel engine for a new era of commuter railroads. As private freight railroads divested themselves of passenger service, the remaining intercity passenger rail service went into Amtrak by 1971. Commuter operations ultimately became independent, run by states, cities, and regional authorities. In the early 1970’s, this often began with an agency helping to fund new equipment or maintenance for decrepit freight railroad service.
