DAMMAM, Saudi Arabia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Savage Saudi Arabia (Savage) has delivered a total of seven locomotives
and two locomotive booster units from the United States to Saudi
ArabiaÔÇÖs Eastern and Northern Provinces, to support rail operations at
Saudi Aramco and Ma'aden Wa'ad Al-Shamal Phosphate Company (MWSPC)
facilities. Savage will own, operate and maintain the two Tier-3
compliant, low-emissions locomotives delivered to Saudi AramcoÔÇÖs Wasit
and Berri Gas Plants, in the Jubail area. Savage also delivered five
GP38-3 locomotives and two booster units to MWSPCÔÇÖs new mining and

tractor-trailers to their final destinations. Savage has an agreement to
