The North Country Chamber of Commerce is celebrating the official award to Alstom of a $1.1 billion order for an additional 200 Multilevel III commuter railcars and 12 ALP 45 dual power locomotives. This order is on top of 174 Multilevel III railcars previously ordered and currently under production at Alstom’s Plattsburgh plant.

“This is the sort of order that will bring years of work to the Plattsburgh plant with additional great jobs,” says Garry Douglas, Chamber President. “It is a direct testament to the clear satisfaction of this major customer with the great vehicles produced by Alstom’s Plattsburgh workforce and its suppliers.”

Notes Douglas, “On top of this week’s official opening of the Micro Bird bus plant with accelerating growth, our region’s transportation equipment cluster is in strong condition for the years ahead. We congratulate our partners at Alstom and are already working with them to assist with training needs. And next week, both Alstom and Micro Bird will join us in two days of high-level meetings in Washington. Onward and upward!”
