MotivePower's Production Facilities

MotivePower has fully integrated production capabilities to manufacture locomotives from the ground up or to provide complete overhaul upgrade and testing services including all support systems in their entirety.

MotivePower performs all of the work required to manufacture and remanufacture in Boise, Idaho. All of MotivePower's facilities are centrally located within two complexes in Boise, Idaho. These two facilities occupy over 50 acres, 13 major buildings, and over 300,000 square feet under roof. Since 1992, MotivePower has made $12 million in capital investments in its facilities.

The facilities consist of stripping, cleaning, shot blasting, locomotive component manufacturing, fabrication, production, final assembly, paint and finishing shops, as well as testing and emissions platforms. Locomotive components, shells and frames are moved between shops for scheduled "just-in-time" delivery, never being exposed to natural elements for excessive amounts of time.
