New model(s)

[NW Mailing List]

They are rebuilt SD50's and derated to 3, 000 hp. When EMD built the SD50, they changed the dynamic brake housing location and shape. The location went from above the engine compartment to just behind the cab. EMD used this configuration for the SD60 series of units, along with the SD70, 70M, 75M/I's, and Sd70MAC's. EMD relocated the DB's to behind the radiator section on the SD80MAC's, 9043MAC's, SD70M-2's, and SD70ACe's.

For a guy who's stuck back in the GP-9 era, what is the distinguishing feature of an SD40E?  Also, in the photo of a pair of SD40Es I did not see the characteristic EMD dynamic brake bulge on the carbody.

The SD40E's have primarily been in captive pusher service on the West Slope outside of Altoona, usually in 3 or 4 unit sets. A few single units have managed to escape and roam the system. Saw my first one here in N. Ga. two weeks ago on a SB manifest from Linwood to Atlanta.

The Bristol local came into Abingdon this afternoon with a pair of newly designated SD-40E  First I have seen of these.
