2001 Annual Data Profile
Locomotive Power and Age Distribution
Figure 44 from the 2001 ADP, shows the small railroad locomotive power distribution. Seventy-nine percent of all locomotives reported as owned or leased were in the 1,500 to 3,000 horsepower range.
Figure 45 reports the age distribution of locomotives for small railroads reporting in the survey. It also shows a very large majority of locomotives owned or leased by small railroads are over 20 years old. Only 3 percent of the reported small railroad locomotives are less than 10 years old compared to approximately 30 percent for the Class I locomotives reported by the Association of American Railroads.
