The SC-44 Charger is a new diesel electric passenger locomotive built by Siemens Mobility
in Sacramento, California.
These locomotives have 4,400 horsepower and meet the EPA Tier 4 emission standards.
From mid 2016 through late 2017, the Illinois Department of Transportation received 33 units
for use on Amtrak Midwest trains in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and Missouri.
Let’s take a look at several of these locomotives in action as they pull the Illini, Saluki,
and Missouri River Runner trains.
Thanks for joining me for this look at the new SC-44 Charger in action in the Midwest.
