CORE SERVICE / 01
Locomotive Fueling. Delivered at the Point of Need.
Locomotive fueling is the foundation of Velocity’s business. Our field teams deliver diesel directly to locomotives at approved railroad service locations, coordinating equipment deployment, site access and fueling schedules with the customer’s operating plan.
Purpose-built fueling equipment supports high-volume terminals, constrained yard environments and distributed-power configurations. Supported deliveries are documented to provide visibility into the work performed.
Transport Trailer (DTL)
High-capacity fueling for major terminals with sufficient access and turning space. Larger fuel loads support sustained demand with fewer replenishment trips.
PRIMARY CAPABILITY
Direct-to-Locomotive Fueling (DTL)
Mobile diesel fueling delivered directly to locomotives at approved rail-yard service points. Velocity coordinates fueling with locomotive availability, railroad operating windows and site requirements, including distributed-power configurations where access and authorization permit.
SECONDARY CAPABILITY
Direct-to-Storage Fuel Delivery (DTS)
Diesel delivery to approved railroad storage tanks and fueling infrastructure, with transfer and replenishment arrangements established around customer requirements.
Fuel sourcing, product ownership and procurement responsibilities are established in the service agreement.
High-Volume & Specialized Yard Fueling
Purpose-built equipment supports larger terminal fueling requirements and locations where access, available space or operating patterns call for a different truck configuration.
Fueling Coordination & Documentation
Field teams coordinate scheduled service with railroad operations and maintain records of supported fuel transfers for reporting, reconciliation and follow-up.
Straight Fueling Truck (SDTL)
Flexible fueling for constrained yard environments. A maneuverable single-unit configuration for limited access, tighter operating spaces or layouts that cannot accommodate tractor-trailer equipment.
Fueling Built Around Railroad Operations.
Every rail yard operates differently. Velocity coordinates fueling resources, operating windows and service documentation around the requirements of each location.
01
Plan & Coordinate
Align fueling requirements, site access, locomotive availability and operating schedules with the railroad’s service plan.
02
Stage & Deploy
Assign qualified field personnel and appropriately configured fueling equipment to the required service location.
03
Fuel Safely
Perform focused fuel transfers using applicable on-track protection, product-handling and spill-prevention procedures.
04
Document & Reconcile
Record supported fueling transactions through Eagle Eye for customer reporting, inventory reconciliation and exception follow-up.
Fuel Accountability Built Into Every Supported Delivery.
Eagle Eye supports transaction-level records that help customers understand what was delivered, where and when. Available information can include locomotive identification, fuel quantities, truck and operator details, location and service timestamps.
Transaction Visibility
Document supported fueling events with relevant service and delivery information.
Inventory Accountability
Use transaction quantities and available balance information to support customer review and reconciliation.
Reporting & Follow-Up
Provide records that help customers investigate discrepancies, review activity and resolve exceptions.
Purpose-built locomotive service equipment supports multiple routine replenishment and servicing functions from one specialized field unit.
