La Grange, Illinois
Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) announced today it has signed an agreement to supply five new SD70ACe locomotives to Quebec North Shore and Labrador (QNS&L), a subsidiary of Iron Ore of Canada.

EMD is scheduled to deliver the new locomotives in August 2011. QNS&L previously ordered seven SD70ACe model locomotives that were delivered last year.

"The products purchased from EMD respond very well to the complexities of the QNS&L Railway, namely in terms of our hard winter climate, long 22,000-ton trains and one man crew operations," according to Louis Gravel, General Manager, Product Delivery for QNS&L.

"We are thrilled that QNS&L has once again selected the SD70ACe for continued expansion of its mining operations," said Billy Ainsworth, Chief Executive Officer of EMD. "We greatly value the confidence QNS&L has in EMD and the leading performance of our products."

EMD introduced the SD70ACe locomotive in 2005 for freight applications in North America and around the world. The model incorporates the highly reliable and energy-efficient EMD two-stroke 710 engine. The QNS&L locomotives will also feature EMD's winterization package, radial trucks and Q-cab for operator comfort and safety.
