18-605: Like its predecessor in EMD's catalog, the SD35 , the SD40 is a high-horsepower, six-axle freight locomotive. The SD40 is a member of EMD's long-running S pecial D uty class of locomotives, which all are built with 6 axles. In 1966, EMD updated its locomotive catalog with entirely new models, all powered by the new 645 diesel engine. These included six-axle models SD38 , SD40, SDP40 and SD45 . All shared standardized components, including

54-624: A longer frame and has longer front and rear porches, while the rebuilt SD40 have a shorter frame. A common product of rebuilding SD40s, and sometimes SD40-2s, is an SD40-3 . The major addition denotes that the rebuilt unit or units as an SD40-3 is the addition of a micro-processor, and sometimes other modern components. The usual reasons for installing a micro-processor are improved traction control, and better fuel economy (via better injection control). Also, electronic control over braking systems (independent and automatic). This may include some SD39, SD45 and SD45-2 rebuilt to SD40-2 standards. The SD40R

72-1725: Is a model of 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1964 and January 1966. Power was provided by an EMD 567D3A , 16- cylinder engine which generated 2,500 brake horsepower (1,900 kW). A 3,000-US-gallon (11,000 L; 2,500 imp gal) fuel tank was used on this unit. This locomotive model shared a common frame with the EMD SD28 , giving it an overall length of 60 feet 8 + 1 ⁄ 2  inches (18.504 m). 360 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads.

162-577: Is well known in the railroad enthusiast community as it ran on CSX right up to the late-2000s still wearing some of it original C&O paint and lettering, and was the very last SD40 on CSX's roster. The engine was meant to be used on the Buckingham Branch Railroad, which also operates out of Clifton Forge, however the unit spends quite a bit of time at the Historical Society's museum. • Illinois Central SD40-2R #6071,

180-516: The Australian loading gauge were sold to WAGR and Victorian Railways as their L and C classes respectively. The SD40 was succeeded by an upgraded Dash 2 version called the SD40-2 . After having been succeeded by the more modern SD40-2, a large number of SD40 have been upgraded with more modern equipment. The main difference between rebuilt SD40 and genuine SD40-2 is that the latter use

The GM&O was later merged into the Illinois Central Railroad and became Illinois Central Gulf #6071, then later rebuilt into an SD40-2R for the IC. It was donated March 11, 2009. The engine is fully functional, however it needs new traction motors if it were to operate again. • Louisville and Nashville #1230

270-502: The frame, cab , generator , trucks , traction motors , and air brakes . The primary difference was the power output: SD38 = 2,000  hp (1,490 kW) from a non-turbocharged V16 , SD40 = 3,000  hp (2,240 kW) from a turbocharged V16 , and SD45 = 3,600  hp (2,680 kW) from a turbocharged V20 . 856 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads, 330 were built for Canadian railroads, 72 were built for Mexican railroads, 6 were built for

306-628: Was in active service until retired by Canadian National Railway in March 2009 and donated to the Monticello Railway Museum in July 2009, albeit having been upgraded to an "SD40-2R", as Illinois Central 6071. 18 customized SD40s were built for the Illinois Central Railroad as model SD40A , using the longer SDP45 frame, which allowed for a larger 5,000 gallon fuel tank. Versions of the SD40 modified for

324-591: Was retired in 2001. The unit was donated to the museum in 2007. Plans are being made to restore the locomotive to its original look as it was when ordered, including a repaint into its original grey/tuscan red paint scheme, known as the Canadian Pacific "Script". • Chesapeake and Ohio #7534 has been donated by CSX Transportation to the C&;O Historical Society in Clifton Forge, Virginia.
