The shop and service departments at McHugh Locomotive & Equipment continue to be very busy. We have several heritage railroad and short line restorations projects happening at the McHugh shop including H.K. Porter 1913 built steam locomotive No. 6 for private owner Sammy King.
Our shop has also performed some small repair projects for various heritage railroads, a few items are: rebuilding old EMD SW-9 locomotive fan assemblies, providing new gears for GE locomotive axle sets, and new gears for a Whitcomb locomotive.

We are currently finishing the rebuild of 8 EMD D-77 traction motors for various customers. We will install 4 of those D-77 traction motors into two rebuilt EMD switcher truck assemblies that have reconditioned axle sets with new wheels that we have sold to a short line railroad on a unit exchange basis. The other 4 units will be ready for our in-stock product so when a customer has an emergency we can provide a unit ASAP to get them back in service.

We have also completed reconditioning 4 EMD axle sets with new wheels that have Hyatt roller bearings. These units will be shipped by a McHugh tractor trailer to a location in NY and our service crew will change out the worn out axle assemblies on a EMD MP1500 locomotive at a customer’s location.

Our on-site service department has been busy with providing change outs of traction motors and axle sets at short line and regional railroads on various 4 and 6 axle locomotives.

If your heritage railroad or museum has a diesel locomotive that requires repairs to traction motors, gearboxes, or axle assemblies, McHugh can safely provide this service at your location. We stock 4 EMD axle sets with new wheels that have AP class F roller bearings and stock 4 EMD axle sets that have new wheels with Hyatt roller bearings. We also are one of the few locomotive rebuilders in the USA that stocks a wide variety of GE 25-ton to 80-ton locomotive parts, components, and truck assemblies.

Keep a look out for our full page heritage railway advertisement on the rear cover of the September issue of Railfan & Railroad magazine. We will also have a full page advertisement inside the front page in the special locomotive edition of Trains Magazine that will be at newsstands in September,

Does McHugh rebuild traction motors in-house?

BTW I spotted an old McHugh dump car on the LBR at Croghan NY last week.

Please see "The Train that Wouldn't Die" for an update on Audrey.

Nedsn3, please check your private messages.

That could have been NHIR 389, which McHugh sold in the late 1980s. I think they bought it from Sam Freeman.
