Units rebuilt with new NS "Admiral" standard cab and low short hood design:
6074, 6077-6078, 6083, 6085, 6089-6090, 6093-6094, 6096, 6098-6100, 6104,

Units 6177-6206 are equipped to operate as slug masters with NS RPU6 slugs.

Unit 6092 was upgraded 01/2013 with Interstate Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and NS-designed split cooling system.
It was overhauled 09-2016 and both the Interstate EFI and NS split cooling system were removed.

Unit 6156 upgraded with electronic fuel injection and has had six 480-volt power receptacles
added to the long hood end pilot for HEP/stand-by power use. 

Unit 6206 was rebuilt in 2004 as a 2,000 horsepower SD38-2 and was renumbered as NS 3821.
The conversion of this unit as a slug master unit for yard service did not work out as well as NS
had hoped, so NS subsequently upgraded 28 SD40-2's (6178-6205) as slug master units for yard
service. The SD40-2's have enough power to allow mating to two RPU6 yard slugs. Due for overhaul,
NS converted the 3821 back to an SD40-2 in May 2013 and restored its original number of 6206.
