Starring role for battery power in Long Beach Los Angeles

Pacific Harbor Line, an integrated freight operator in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, is set to showcase a distant relative of a UK freight stalwart. PHL is about to take charge of a demonstrator EMD Joule battery electric shunter – or switcher as they prefer to refer in California. With almost as tractive effort as its Class 66 diesel British cousin, the EMD Joule is certainly more North American switcher than British shunter, and it may well end up on a silver screen near you, playing a supporting role as PHL hosts another film crew.
