SD40-2

[NW Modeling List]

Hi Mac;

The SD40-2 was first produced in 1972.

The switcher sounds like an pre-1965 EMD switcher.  N&W did not get any EMD 
switchers until the 1964 merger.  The older EMD switchers were ex NKP and ex 
WAB.

N&W did not get any diesels until 1955: eight Alco RS3 phIII units and eight 
EMD GP9 ph II units.
