The EMD SD59MX is a diesel locomotive from Electro-Motive Diesel. relatively new onto the railroads, the EMD SD59MX is remanufactured due to carbody and major mechanical and electrical subsystems in an EMD SD60M donor. the EFI-equipped 710 engine, though, is all new as will be the engine and locomotive management systems. Union Pacific is the first Class I Railroad to actually order them. the engine management system is adaptable to actually each minimum emissions and minimum fuel consumption modes, depending upon their assignment.
The EMD SD59M-2, a lot of commonly brought up clearly as the EMD SD59MX, one of the rarest locomotives within the whole Union Pacific motive power fleet. EMD SD59M-2 are remanufactured from EMD SD60M.
Spotting Features :
- wide-nose, up to now no more than the later two-window wide nose instead of the earlier three-window tri-clops wide nose and none of the standard 40 series cab EMD SD60 are converted.
- slightly slanted air intakes.
- high-adhesion ht-c trucks, reused coming from the donor sd60m, instead of the newer radial or bolsterless trucks. nearly all EMD SD40-2 and EMD SD50 used a similar truck.
- safety fuel tank on it found on current EMD SD70M
- scheduled as being completed : UP 9900-9924, from twenty-five "donors" originally within the whole up 24xx, 25xx and 63xx series.
