On October 8th, 2025, New York City Transit (NYCT) work train crews monitor the height clearance of brand new Wabtec WAB6HYB (R255) #HL014 as GE 45-Tonner (R47) #064, tows it into Linden Yard on a flatcar in Brooklyn, New York. Linden Yard is one of only two connections between the New York City Subway and the national rail network, and is typically used to interchange supplies such as stick rail and ties with the New York & Atlantic Railway.

The WAB6HYB (R255) is a 675hp hybrid battery locomotive built by Wabtec Corporation (formerly GE Transportation) in Erie, Pennsylvania. These locomotives are specially designed to meet all of New York City Transit’s subway standards and can operate on battery power for up to eight hours. They are used to power work trains throughout the system, including the Sea Beach Line seen adjacent to the freight train in this photo. HL014 is one of 25 units included in the initial order scheduled for delivery.
