Detailed Information
ROADNAME AND ROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:

MP

In the mid 1970s, the Missouri Pacific owned many examples of EMD SD40-2 locomotives- but their next order was to be a bit different. MoPac needed

locomotives that would be compatible with BN, UP, & CNW units on Powder River Basin coal trains. Unlike prior units, these SD40-2's were equipped with

nose mounted oscillating headlights and dynamic brakes, and were referred to as "SD40-2c"- denoting their intended service as coal haulers. Later on, they

were mixed freely with other MP power as well as being used in pool service.
