NS former UP SD9043MACs | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Henry J.OGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I have read in passing that the NS has purchased SD9043MACs from the UP. Are they going to be part of another in house rebuild program? Will the units be retaining the 4300 hp, 710 series engines? Or will they be upgraded to a higher Tier emissions standard?

Since the units are numbered in with the former Conrail SD80MACs (7200's), will the SD80's see changes in the future as well?

Looking forward to any information available. And, looking forward to seeing these units in NS black and white.

Its my understanding that they're going to be rebuilt with SD70ACe internals. I'm not sure entirely what that entails. They will apparently also get ACe cabs in the process.
