Not at this time so for a while you will just have to cope with regular ones.

The SD40E's started off as SD50. Since we don't have any SD50's yet, you could use the SD60, reduce the horsepower to 3,000, renumber the engines in the 6300 series and you'll have a stand-in SD40E.

SD60E's look very different than a normal SD60 though.

You are correct, they have the NS designed, Brookville built safety cabs and are in the 6900 numbering series.
