ALC-42 Diesel Electric Locomotive

Prototype Information

The Charger is powered by a Cummins 16-cylinder QSK95 4-stroke high speed diesel engine, which meets United States Environmental Protection Agency’s more stringent Tier 4 emissions standards that took effect in 2015. Power output varies by model: the SCB-40 produces 4,000 hp (3,000 kW), the SC-44 produces 4,400 hp (3,300 kW), and both the SCV-42 and ALC-42 produce 4,200 hp (3,100 kW). The maximum speed in service is 125 mph (201 km/h).

The first ALC-42 was delivered to Amtrak on June 17, 2021, and entered revenue service on February 8, 2022, on the Empire Builder.
