An EMD SDP40 is a 6-axle diesel locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1966 and May 1970. Power was provided by an EMD 645E3 16-cylinder engine which generated 3,000 horsepower (2,240 kW). Essentially this locomotive was an EMD SD40 equipped with a steam generator, located in the extended long hood end, for passenger use.
