There is a programme of electrification of main lines in Israel and as part of this new Traxx electric locomotives are being delivered. In March 2019 two brand new 30xx series electrics were parked alongside the main line between Haifa East and Haifa Central, adjacent to the docks, awaiting final delivery. These will replace the diesel locomotives on the main line passenger services in due course. Also visible are four stabled EMD G12 diesels, used for local trip freight and shunting around Haifa. A local push pull service passes on the running lines.
