UPRR Genset Switchers UPY 2756 and 2753 (both 3GS21B) leads a block of mixed freight cars onto the industrial service track on the Alameda Corridor at Compton, CA. The Genset locomotive is powered by two 700 horsepower ultra-low emissions off-road diesel engines that are connected to electric generators. The genset yard switcher reduces emissions of nitrous oxides by 80 percent and particulate matter by 90 percent, while using as much as 30 percent less fuel compared to current older switching locomotives.
