Wabtec Corp.’s MotivePower subsidiary has received a $95 million order for commuter locomotives from the Maryland Transit Administration, the company announced Monday.

The locomotives, to be used for Maryland’s MARC commuter rail service, will be built in Boise, Idaho. They will be delivered this year and next.

MARC, with more than 30,000 daily riders, shuttles commuters on three lines, most notably between Baltimore’s Penn Station and Washington’s Union Station.

Known as Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp., Wabtec books about $1.5 billion in annual sales.
