The EMD SD40-3 is a rebuild from several locomotive models from General Motors' Electro-Motive Division (EMD)'s second generation of diesel locomotives. The models involved in the rebuild were the SD40,[1] SD40-2,[2] SD45, SD45-2 and SD45T-2.[3][4]
History
Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad (B&LE)
The Boise Locomotive Company (BLC), a subsidiary of MotivePower, would rebuild seven former Southern Pacific (SP) SD45T-2s into SD40-3s on September 30, 1999. The Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway (DM&IR) would rebuild an additional four former SP SD45T-2s into SD40-3s at their own Proctor, Minnesota shops in 2000, making a total of eleven SD40-3s. All eleven locomotives of which would be delivered to the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad (B&LE).[5][6][7]
CSX Transportation (CSXT)
CSX conducted their rebuilding of SD40-2s into SD40-3s at their own Huntington, West Virginia shops. Rebuilding began in 2010 with 10 units upgraded and numbered 4000-4009; in 2011, 20 units went through the program and were numbered 4010-4029 and in 2012 another 20 units followed and were numbered 4030-4049. One of the most notable rebuilds was SD40-2 no. 8888, (now rebuilt to no. 4389), which in 2001 was involved in a runaway incident caused by the failure of the engineer to notice the train gradually accelerating during yard switching, but this locomotive was rebuilt in 2015.[8] These locomotives featured new cabs, air conditioning systems, and other new technologies.
Norfolk Southern (NS)
The Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) had started their SD40-3 rebuild program in October 2021, and as of 2026, is ongoing.[9]
Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway (W&LE)
The Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway (W&LE) had one SD40, no. 3048, rebuilt into dash 3 specifications in December 1998 at their own Brewster, Ohio shops.[10] It is currently still in service as of 2026.
