The NRE 3GS21B is a low-emissions diesel switcher locomotive built by National Railway Equipment. It is powered by three Cummins QSK19C I6 engines with each one developing Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). and creating a total power output of Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value).. Having multiple engines instead of a single prime mover, a design referred to as a "Genset," reduces overall diesel emissions and improves fuel efficiency.[1] More than 150 of the 3GS21B Genset locomotives have been produced to date, with the majority of these units being manufactured at NREC's Mount Vernon shops in Southern Illinois.[2] In addition, one road slug model has also been produced.
