The EMD SD40-2 is a 3,000 horsepower (2,240 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division between January 1972 and February 1986. 3,957 examples were built, and every class 1 railroad in North America has operated this locomotive. Part of the EMD Dash 2 line, the SD40-2 was an upgraded SD40 with modular electronic control systems, HT-C trucks, and many other detail improvements. The SD40-2 is one of the best-selling diesel locomotive models of all time. There were many variations of this popular diesel because of the long production run. A large number of these locomotives are still in service today either with the original purchaser or with a second-hand operator.
