One of the most common replacement locomotives became the GP40-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, turbocharged, 3000 horsepower engine 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\u003ch3\u003eModel Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Nub” style walkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit class lights, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit signal lights and\/or beacons, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell placement \u0026amp;
