Siemens Rail company will build advanced electric locomotive engines in Sacramento for Amtrak routes in the Northeast. The new engines are capable of 125 mph and are expected to recover 65 percent of their build cost through regenerative electricity production generated during braking. The 70 new engines are expected to be completed by the end of 2014.
