We have quite a few of these left at Conrail shared assets,they were mainly from Erie Lackawana. A lot of them were fitted with 16 cylinder engines when rebuilt effectively making them SD40's We are getting in a lot of newly rebuilt lease engines in from Alstom in Canada and they all so far have had 16 cylinders in them. They even call them SD40's on the blue forms instead of 45's Some of our engines just had a longer driveshaft installed to connect the compressor to the end of the crank and they extended the water and oil piping to the filters and expansion tank. All the Alstom engines have had the rear components moved up to the engine and the doors reconfigured so that you can service them easier as well, they have a cavernous empty long hood when done this way but it is a much tidier job.
