Toledo port sending 2nd locomotive out for battery-electric conversion
A little more than a year after putting its first rebuilt, battery-electric switching locomotive to work, the firm that operates the Port of Toledo’s general cargo docks is sending another one out for conversion. And as with the first, Midwest Terminals of Toledo International is getting a substantial state contribution toward the cost.

Like Engine 205 that entered service at the docks off St. Lawrence Drive in July, 2023, Engine 703 will be rebuilt by Medha Transportation, LLC, with a bank of batteries where it now has a diesel-fuel powered engine block to generate electricity supplied to motors on its wheels.
