At Union Pacific’s Downing B. Jenks Shop at North Little Rock, Arkansas, a welder (boilermaker by trade) carefully builds new lower pilot assemblies for the railroad’s SD40N rebuild program on May 19, 2015. These are added to the rear pilot of the locomotives, and include new “pockets” for mu hoses. In the background is the rear long hood from SD40-2 No. 3151 that is going through the SD40N rebuild program.
