The flagship of the “Dash-2” series of 1972, the SD40-2 would build upon the lessons learned from its predecessor, the SD40. While the sixteen-cylinder 645E3 turbocharged prime mover remained the same from its SD40 cousin, the SD40-2 boasted a modular, solid-state electrical system, which featured removable “cards” in place of troublesome relays in its high-voltage cabinet, greatly simplifying electrical troubleshooting and repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternally, the biggest change was the use of the new HT-C three-axle truck in place of the Flexi-coil C of the SD40. The new truck promised greater adhesion, and was longer than the Flexi-coil C, necessitating an increase of the length of the SD40-2s frame to an overall length of 68’, 10” over the couplers. This also had the effect of giving the SD40-2 its characteristic long walkway “porches” at each end. Other small external improvements, such as longer battery box compartments, rear overhang on the cab roof, and drip rail over the front cab door, added to the list of external differences between it and the SD40.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomestic production of the SD40-2 continued until July 1984 making it one of EMD’s most popular locomotives of all time. Many remain in service today, both with original owners as well as secondhand operators. Within the last five years, Norfolk Southern, CSX, and Union Pacific have rebuilt hundreds of SD40-2s to extend their operating life. This will ensure this venerable locomotive’s presence on U.S. rails for decades to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: As delivered, series 3313-3328, built 1979, Phase IId1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad numbers 3313K (AGS) and 3320X (CG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDulux lettering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating LED tricolor flush-mounted class lights with raised gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e81” high short hood with wheel handbrake and toilet vent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadlight mounted in high short hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh long hood mounted steel bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort and long hood top mounted walkway lights (non-operating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear Nathan P5A Horns with all chimes forward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOU\/NS sun awning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear tall pilot plow with high trainline hose cut out, MU hose doors and grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangular walkway lights mounted between sandbox clean out doors (non-operating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolted battery box doors with wide louvers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate cab sub-base doors with lift-off hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear late small deck extension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard front and rear drop steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Tall\" stepwells with see-through steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDash two cab with welded side window panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall mirrors mounted fore and aft of cab side windows, both sides of cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward cab side vent on left side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotorola ASP-16 “Firecracker” antenna mounted on top of short hood and second one on top rear of dynamic brake housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly electrical cabinet \"zig-zag\" seam, further from rear of cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded ECAFB (late)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermediate inertial air intake grills with top drip rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended-range dynamic brakes without batten strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrugated radiator intake grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through standard 48” radiator fan housings with fan blades visible inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop grab radiator fan grab iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight uncoupling levers with loop handles front and rear;
