The air brake shop, turbo repair shop and component remanufacturing center complete the functions of the Jenks Shop complex.

The 9,000-square-foot air brake shop supplies locomotive air components to a major portion of the Union Pacific system. Here, employees receive, strip, clean and recondition all defective air components. Once tested, the parts are placed back into service within the UP fleet. The air brake shop also handles a wide range of other parts, including horns, sander relay valves, automatic drain valves and shutter cylinders.

The turbo shop is equipped with two monorail systems and three-ton overhead cranes to provide quality turbochargers at a competitive price for the Union Pacific fleet.

Since 1995, employees at the component remanufacturing center have provided power assemblies and various locomotive components used in Union Pacific locomotive repairs.
