The Athearn Genesis HO Scale EMD GP39-2 Santa Fe ATSF #3640 - DCC/Sound is an HO scale diesel locomotive from Athearn Genesis. It is decorated for Santa Fe.
Factory-equipped with DCC and sound.
Electro-Motive Division produced the GP39-2 between 1974 and 1984 as a four-axle diesel-electric road switcher powered by a turbocharged 12-cylinder EMD 645E3 engine. Producing 2,300 horsepower, the GP39-2 offered railroads a fuel-efficient alternative to larger road locomotives while retaining the flexibility needed for freight and switching assignments.
Santa Fe was one of the largest purchasers of the GP39-2, initially acquiring these locomotives for fast freight service. Their versatility soon made them valuable for local freight trains, industrial switching, and road-switching operations throughout the Santa Fe system.
