Description
Sound ready
The EMD GP series locomotives became some of the most successful designs of the age. Produced from 1970s to mid-1980s the GP40-2 was quickly found in many different tasks of the railroad. From switching to pulling high priority freight trains across the country, these versatile locomotives brought the goods to North America. Many of these locomotives are now being rebuilt with ecologically sound emission control for higher population centers. A new era emerges as technology meets proven reliability for these EMD products.
Stand in representations of former NYC GP40s, these units were active on Amtrak in the 1990s. Lacking HEP generation, they usually ran in multiple with an F40PH to provide HEP for the train.
