UP SPECIFIC FEATURES:

Faced with a shortage of reliable medium horsepower units for secondary work, Union Pacific outshopped the first of a new series of rebuilt locomotives in 2011. Using SD40-2's as a starting point, the locomotives receive reconditioned components-including generators, traction motors, cabs, and prime movers. They are also equipped with PTC capability and comply with Tier 0+ emissions standards for locomotives built before 1993. Finally, and perhaps most significantly, they are equipped with the NEXSYS control system, allowing for simplified troubleshooting, enhanced wheel slip control, and automatic startup/shutdown capability. Referred to as "SD40N" by UP, the veteran units have a new lease on life and are commonly found on local and transfer runs, or as trim power in yards - often in sets of three.
