Perfectly Painted … in Pink

A locomotive does more than just pull freight and passenger trains for a railroad. It serves as a symbol for the company’s brand and a sense of pride for its employees. Wabtec understands the importance of its customers’ liveries and getting it right.

There are teams of professionals at Wabtec locomotive plants around the world, who specialize in painting the various unique liveries to perfection. These employees focus on turning a 430,000-pound locomotive into artwork.

Wabtec recently captured a behind-the-scenes look into the painting process.
