EMD introduced the GP38-2 in 1972 as part of its highly successful Dash-2 locomotive family. Powered by a 16-cylinder, non-turbocharged diesel engine producing approximately 2,000 horsepower, the GP38-2 became a favorite for freight, local, switching, yard, helper, and utility assignments. Many examples remained active for decades thanks to their straightforward design and dependable operation.
Norfolk Southern was formed in 1982 and adopted its recognizable black locomotive paint scheme with bold white markings. NS #5013 represents a Southern Railway heritage GP38-2 and features the longer radiator arrangement associated with early-production examples, making it especially appropriate for transition-era Norfolk Southern operations.
