GP40-2(EMD)
The EMD (Electro-Motive Division) GP40-2 is a type of four-axle, 16-cylinder, 3,000hp (though, sometimes rated at 3,200hp) diesel locomotive built by the Electro Motive Division of General Motors (GM) from 1972 to 1986. Over 1,100 units were built: 903 of the original domestic model, 233 of the wide-cab (Canadian-built) GP40-2L, among many rebuilds; such as the MK Rail GP40-2WH.
History
The EMD (Electro-Motive Division) GP40-2 is a type of four-axle, 16-cylinder, 3,000hp (though, sometimes rated at 3,200hp) diesel locomotive built by the Electro Motive Division of General Motors (GM) from 1972 to 1986. Over 1,100 units were built: 903 of the original domestic model, 233 of the wide-cab (Canadian-built) GP40-2L, among many rebuilds; such as the MK Rail GP40-2WH.
History
In late 1971, the launch of the increasingly successful and iconic "Dash 2" line from EMD was imminent. Although orders for preceding models were placed months before during the previous year from various customers, they were filled-in or replaced with succeeding models of the latter (thus, the GP40 orders ultimately became GP40-2 orders). After the successful launch of the SD40-2 in January 1972, railroads were beginning to settle on EMD's otherwise reliable products. Beginning in April of that same year, EMD constructed an updated version of the already successful (yet tedious to maintain) GP40 by adding a number of internal features. Externally, the GP40-2 was virtually unchanged during the transition to the "Dash 2" line, except for the small, oblong-shaped water-level sight glass window located on the right-side of the long-hood. towards the front of the radiator intake. Overall, the difference between a late-GP40 unit and an early GP40-2 unit are barely perceptible. On the inside, however, is an entirely different story. First and foremost, the most prominent change was with the wiring (akin to the rest of the series). Transistors, printed electrical circuit boards, and a control system featuring solid-state modular components were the hallmark of the radically redesigned "Dash 2" electrical system. The elaborate maze of hardwired circuitry, ponderous relays, interlocks, and bulky switches that defined the electrical systems of earlier locomotives were gone for good.
