According to the Kalmback book, Diesel Locomotives: The First 50 Years (A guide to diesels built before 1972) <br /> <br />On page 84 they list the DD35B, which was built in 63-64, about 6 years before the DD40's, the caption on the picture says "The DD35 was the ultimate B unit for B unit enthusiast Union Pacific. The machinery is laid out with the generators at the outer ends and the radiators at the center. There is a transverse passageway under the radiators. <br /> <br />DD35A <br /> <br />[img]http://64.246.11.82/images/u/UP71.jpg.79653.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />I would imagine it would stand the same for the DD40, the book doesn't mention any big differences.
