Four units that haven't seen revenue service in decades work together for Cheyenne Frontier Days. The E-units are only E-units on the outside. On the inside, they've been rebuilt and are now, in essence, GP38-2s. They are each rated at 2,000 horsepower. The DDA40X, on the other hand, is still rated at a full 6,600 horsepower.
