UP 3250, a 3,000 horsepower SD40-2, is sitting near the old service pit. The doors have been banded shut so transients cannot have access to the inside of the carbody. All the water has been drained out so it won't freeze. UP Diesel Shop. Salt Lake City, Utah. April, 1981. Photo by Warren Johnson.

The 2018 order was awarded to Seimans Canada but were made in California. That order is complete.
The 2026 order was subject to a Buy Canada policy shift and awarded to Alstom Canada with design work & carbody mfg in Quebec, and final assembly in Ontario. It wasn't canceled and given to Alstom.

North American low level platforms are 8 in, intended to be a single step down from the lowest possible step on a carbody. This standard was created with single-level cars in mind, so level boarding wasn't considered anyway. For stations without platforms, Amtrak crews still carry an 8 in stepstool.

I agreed immediately, and this morning I made a new carbody. Fortunately this is a modular design, built much like a reduced MTL heavyweight, so many parts could be swapped. The ill-fated first attempt will be primed and spray painted, old style.

548A, however was rebuilt by EMD with a modern F unit carbody in 1951 after a major wreck. Judging by the total rebuild of the radiator setup, but based on my knowledge of EMD's rebuilding process, this unit is *probably* a detuned F7. Assuming it kept it's original generator, it was likely 1350 HP.

A much better application of that carbody. I remember reading the BP20s apparently had a problem with the cab filling with exhaust. Made them very unpopular with crews. Besides, a tri-Bo shark would have been mad cool.

Like there are exceptions; the EBT and NC&StL are two I can think of, but mostly they went away. Most road names became short enough to fit on a tender/carbody/coach through restructuring or mergers (think of the NYC&HRRR into the NYC or CNO&TP into the Southern name)

The EMD SD42ACe - aka TE3250 - is the product of a series of very strange circumstances, leading what is a unit in a domestic EMD carbody to ply the rails of the former USSR for the first time.
