PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB) announced today a landmark agreement with National Company Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ), the national railway of Kazakhstan, to deliver Evolution Series locomotives and provide long-term service support. The multi-year order, valued at $4.2 billion, marks the largest locomotive agreement in Wabtec’s history.
