New Jersey Transit (NJT) purchased 26 ALP-45DPs in 2008, with an option to purchase up to 63 additional units.Шаблон:Sfn The first locomotive from the order was displayed at Innotrans in 2010 and was officially unveiled at Pennsylvania Station on May 11, 2011. NJT purchased 9 additional units in July 2010. The locomotives from these two orders are numbered 4500–4534.

The ALP-45DPs are used on the Morristown Line, Montclair-Boonton Line, Raritan Valley Line, Northeast Corridor Line, and the North Jersey Coast Line, providing a one-seat ride into New York Penn Station.Шаблон:Sfn They are also used on the Main Line, Bergen County Line, Pascack Valley Line, and occasionally on Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line. Шаблон:Sfn They have replaced all GP40FH-2 locomotives (except those owned by Metro-North), and a majority of the GP40PH-2 and F40PH-2CAT locomotives.

In December 2017, NJT purchased 17 additional ALP-45DPs, labelled as the ALP-45A. On June 28, 2019, Bombardier announced that the first car body from this order was inspected and approved for final assembly. In July 2020, NJT ordered 8 additional ALP-45As, leaving 29 options. Originally slated to replace the remaining GP40PH-2B, fleet, the 25 locomotives are now intended to replace the majority of the PL42AC fleet instead of the GP40PH-2B fleet, due to the PL42AC's unreliability and inability to be upgraded to meet new Environmental Protection Agency standards. The ALP-45A locomotives from the 2017 and 2020 orders will be numbered 4535–4559. On December 15, 2020, the first unit from the order, #4535, has left the Kassel factory and was delivered in January 2021. #4536 was the first ALP-45A unit to enter revenue service on July 30, 2021. Following the purchase of Bombardier Transportation in January 2021, Alstom will be responsible for completing the ALP-45A order.

In 2019, NJ Transit unveiled locomotive 4519 painted in a heritage Erie Lackawanna scheme.

Exo ALP-45DP #1356 at Vendôme Station

In 2008, the predecessor of Montreal's Exo, the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT), ordered 20 locomotives (with an option for 10 more), with an order value of €152 million. These units replaced the remaining GP9s, F40PHRs, and all ex-NJT equipment. The locomotives are for use on the Vaudreuil-Hudson line, Saint-Jérôme line, Mont-Saint-Hilaire line, and Mascouche line to Montreal Central Station via the Шаблон:Nowrap electrified Mount Royal Tunnel. They are numbered 1350-1369.Шаблон:Sfn

The first unit, AMT 1350, arrived in Montreal on June 9, 2011, after being shipped to Newark and then moving north to its new home.

The locomotives originally ran in electric mode along the entirety of the Deux-Montagnes line and along the Mascouche line between Montreal Central Station and Ahuntsic station. However, in January 2020, the electrified portion of the Exo network was permanently closed, so the locomotives now operate exclusively in diesel mode. The Deux-Montagnes line is being converted into the mainline of the Réseau express métropolitain light metro system and the Mascouche line will be truncated to Côte-de-Liesse station.

Design

The ALP-45DP is an electro-diesel locomotive design, based on Bombardier's ALP-46/A and TRAXX locomotives.Шаблон:Sfn Design requirements included weight less than Шаблон:Convert, length less than Шаблон:Convert, and EPA-compliant emissions.Шаблон:Sfn

The challenge of fitting diesel and electric systems within the same carbody while staying within axle load limits, led to the choice of two high-speed, twelve-cylinder Caterpillar 3512C HD diesel engines rated at Шаблон:Convert each.Шаблон:Sfn The systems for the two engines are independentШаблон:Spaced ndashfor example, each has a separate Шаблон:Convert fuel supply (split across four total tanks owing to NJT regulations regarding tunnel operations that limit individual fuel tank capacity to Шаблон:ConvertШаблон:Sfn)Шаблон:Spaced ndashallowing the locomotive to operate on one engine in case of failure or under low load. The engines are capable of shorter startup times from idle to load (100 rpm/s) than traditional medium speed diesel engines.Шаблон:Sfn To achieve mass balance and distribution within the locomotive, the engines are situated on either side of the transformer, which is located in the center of the locomotive. The engines are manufactured in Lafayette, Indiana, USA.Шаблон:Sfn

When running under diesel power, each engine powers a MITRAC TG 3800 A alternator having an output of 1700 kVA @ 1800 rpm.Шаблон:Sfn Power output is reduced from Шаблон:Convert (including HEP) in electric mode to Шаблон:Convert in diesel mode;Шаблон:Sfn under diesel power, the same tractive effort curve is maintained up to around Шаблон:Convert (assuming Шаблон:Convert available for traction after HEP reductions for an 8 car train).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The pantograph is of TransTech design.Шаблон:Sfn The ABB main transformer has four secondary taps, switchable to supply 1360 V under all electrification supplies. There are two MITRAC TC 3360 DP V01 DC-AC main converters,Шаблон:Sfn one per bogie, which convert the single phase input to a 2,8 kV intermediate DC-bus, using IGBT based switches. Each DC bus powers two traction converters, with each traction inverter powering a separate traction motor.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The locomotive uses four Шаблон:Convert MITRAC DR 3700 F fully suspended, bogie mounted traction drives to reduce unsprung mass.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

In addition to taps for the traction inverters, the locomotive transformer supplies 1 100 kVA and 140 kVA for head-end power and locomotive auxiliary power.Шаблон:Sfn Two partially-redundant auxiliary inverters are incorporated into the two main converter units.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Normally, one provides a 3 phase, 480 V 60 Hz 1100 kVA supply for head end power, while the other provides several 3 phase variable voltage, variable frequency supplies (up to 480 V 60 Hz) for the traction motor fans, transformer fans, and inverter cooling circuit motors.Шаблон:Sfn In the event of a converter failure, it is possible to route all supply through a single converter, ensuring redundancy and margin of error operations. Шаблон:Sfn

HEP is maintained when changing power modes, due to the fact that the pantograph is not lowered until the prime movers have been started (when changing from electric to diesel), and the prime movers are not shut down until the pantograph has made contact with the catenary wire (when changing from diesel to electric). In either case, the changeover takes approximately 100 seconds.Шаблон:Sfn The locomotive is capable of performing a mode change while on the move; however, NJ Transit has reprogrammed their locomotives to only allow a mode change during a station stop. This is most likely to prevent the loss of power during the transition to diesel mode with a limited amount of wire left.

The braking system uses Wabtec's Fastbrake control system, with two disc brakes per axle. The mechanical parts of the brake system were supplied by Faiveley Transport.Шаблон:Sfn Compressed air supply is charged through a Knorr screw compressor with a capacity of Шаблон:Cvt at Шаблон:Cvt pressure,Шаблон:Sfn stored in two Шаблон:Cvt air reservoirs. The dynamic and regenerative braking system operates under all three NJT electrical systems.Шаблон:Sfn In addition, the locomotive, while in diesel mode, is capable of routing power generated by the electric brake to HEP and locomotive auxiliary power requirements in addition to the dynamic brake resistor.Шаблон:Sfn

The locomotives are within Amtrak's A-05-1355 structure gauge and meet CFR and AAR crashworthiness standards.Шаблон:Sfn The diesel engines meet Tier 3 EPA emission standards, and work is being done to enable an upgrade to Tier 4 standards, which took effect on January 1, 2015.Шаблон:Sfn Total length is Шаблон:Cvt, approximately Шаблон:Cvt longer than the ALP-46A.

The bodyshells of the locomotive were constructed at Bombardier's Wrocław site, the bogies at Siegen, and the alternators at Hennigsdorf factory. The locomotives were assembled at Kassel.Шаблон:Sfn
