Fortescue's [formerly FMG] brand new EMD SD70J BB battery electric locomotive, or BEL, number 602, one of two units built for the company as it is delivered to Thomas Yard on a Mammoet platform and two 'block' prime movers and traffic pilots.
602 is model SD70J BB with serial number 20218349-002 with a build date of 10-2025 and weighs 265 tonnes, or 584,225 lbs.
The two EMD 'Joule' 14.5 MWh BEL units left the Sete Lagoas plant of EMD in mid-October and were road hauled to the port of Itaguai where they were loaded onto the heavy lift vessel BBC Aquamarine for the sea voyage to Port Hedland via South Africa.
Designed to be charged by regenerative means and an overhead charging station, notice the conductor rods on the roof of the hood.
