Every EMD engine we work on is tested on our custom built locomotive test cell to ensure it meets our high standards.

Every EMD engine we work on is tested on our custom built locomotive test cell to ensure it meets our high standards.

At Peaker Services, every EMD engine we produce runs through our unique test cell — a modified SD45 locomotive right here in Brighton, MI.

Our test routines are crafted from over 54 years of EMD work, made to break engines in and push them through the same conditions they’ll see in the field. From 20-cylinder giants to compact 8-cylinder engines, each EMD engine fully tested before shipment.

The result? An engine you can trust, ready to meet your demanding needs. Whether you’re a railroad, marine, or power customer, trust Peaker for your EMD needs.
