[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by rayw46</i> <br /><br />Actually LongIandTom, Norfolk Southern regularly uses 3000 horsepower SD40-2's in switcher service, less the turbocharger. [/quote] <br /> <br />SD40-2's less the turbocharger, what does that mean? An SD40-2 that has been de-rated by removing the turbocharger? <br /> <br />If that's the case, it ain't an SD40-2 any longer! [:p] <br /> <br />IIRC, the normally-aspirated (non-turbo) version of the SD40-2 16-cylinder prime mover generates only a bit over 2000hp (which is what I think the SD38-2 is). <br />
