    • Abstract:
      Shortline company GENESEE VALLEY TRANSPORTATION added to its fleet of six-motor Alco and MLW locomotives by purchasing four MLW M636s from WESTERN NEW YORK & PENNSYLVANIA, which had stored the units since acquiring GE AC60CWs. NEWS BRIEFS Switzerland's GOTTHARD BASE TUNNEL, at 35.5 miles the world's longest rail tunnel, will likely be limited to traffic through just one of its two tubes until early 2024 after the Aug. 10 derailment of a freight train that caused significant damage to the west tube.
