Import Tips
• Include FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) certification documents to confirm compliance with U.S. safety standards
• Document total weight and dimensions accurately, as locomotives often exceed standard container sizes requiring special handling
• Check for positive train control (PTC) compatibility if intended for U.S. mainline operation
