In 2007, BEC unveiled its CoGeneration locomotives with up to 2,100 horsepower (1,600 kW), generated through the use of three low-emission diesel engines. The use of three clean-burning Tier-3 engines offers a "Power on Demand" feature where engines come on-line as power needs are realized. This feature minimizes emissions and fuel consumption. CoGeneration locomotives also offer the most advanced traction drive system. Equipped with individual, water-cooled IGBTs for each traction motor, this provides the highest rail adhesion.
Brookville currently manufactures equipment used in mining, tunneling, and industrial and switching applications and remanufactures streetcar equipment, such as the PCC streetcars for Route 15 in Philadelphia. In 2008, Brookville built its first road switchers for the Metro-North Railroad. The locomotives are given the model designation of BL20-GH.
Brookville also offers exhaust after treatments for its underground diesel locomotives that reduce emissions by 85%. BEC's Railwalker re-railing devices can also put its locomotives back on-track without the risk of injury to the operator.
On 14 September 2011, Brookville announced plans to develop a low-floor articulated tram.

“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
