McHugh Locomotive & Equipment has been well established as a leader having a vast amount of knowledge concerning the railroad industry. We offer for sale locomotives that are completely rebuilt and sold per our warranty. Our locomotive rebuilding programs are extensive, with all units being stripped down to the bare frame, including the fuel tank, couplers / draft gear, and both truck assemblies are removed. Then every unit is cleaned so a though inspection can be made. After a locomotive frame is qualified to meet acceptable industry standards, the rebuilding process will begin. We can also rebuild your locomotive or offer you a trade in on your old unit as part of a purchase of a locomotive.
