One of the most common replacement locomotives became the GP40-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, turbocharged, 3000 horsepower engines in 1972. These locomotives were developed for service where higher horsepower and faster service were preferable. A major feature for the GP40-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP40-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, and helper service. Many remain in service today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDT\u0026amp;I’s last locomotive order was for GP40-2’s #422-425 in late 1979. Painted in their new bright “star” logo, they were built for high-speed TOFC service. Notable DT\u0026amp;I options included: Xenon beacon, nose mounted bell, and non-dynamic brake hatch. GP40-2 #407 was part of the original order from 1972. After being repaired from a wreck in 1979, it was repainted into the new “star” scheme and put back into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast DT\u0026amp;I scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose-mounted bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXenon beacon (effect in DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM3 horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra nose grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirecracker antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-dynamic brake hatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra jacking pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLlt class lights and number boards (effect in DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#422\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast DT\u0026amp;I locomotive order;
