4000 hp, and on the UP from St. louis to Pine Bluff, they're rated for 6500tons, and from Pine Bluff to Texarkana they're rated for 6000 tons. they are some pretty strong engines. Two of them pulled a 7800ft long auto train last night.

Guess it depends on when it was last washed... And whether or not the crew used deoderant!

RE: C40-8
what do u mean by how strong???Do you mean horsepower or effective pulling power?For example, the C40 and B40's are both 4000hp, but the C40's have a much higher effective pulling power. The B40's are very slippery when it comes to acceleration. >Mike Forster<
