The most common replacement locomotive became the GP38-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, non-turbocharged, 2000 horsepower engine in 1972. Unlike the GP38’s engine, which drove a generator to supply power to the traction motors, the GP38-2s prime mover drove an alternator which produced AC electrical current that was rectified to DC to power the four traction motors. Another major change for the GP38-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP38-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, helpers, snow fighting trains, and hump power. Many remain in service today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection

The most common replacement locomotive became the GP38-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, non-turbocharged, 2000 horsepower engine in 1972. Unlike the GP38’s engine, which drove a generator to supply power to the traction motors, the GP38-2s prime mover drove an alternator which produced AC electrical current that was rectified to DC to power the four traction motors. Another major change for the GP38-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP38-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, helpers, snow fighting trains, and hump power.

Starting in the late 1980’s, FRA regulations dictated that any lighting feature of a locomotive that is installed must operate or the locomotive cannot be used in service. To combat this, the SP (and many other roads) would simply remove any unused or mechanically problematic lighting features such as class lights and gryalights. Also during this time, SP rebuilt many of their locomotives with the removal of the “L” window cab glass, which was costly to replace if broken. Our offering shows their 1990’s appearance before the UP merger of 1996.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-wrapper-b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-and-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row product-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 value content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 mt-md-2 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"consumerWebCopyDiv\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-wrapper-b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-and-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row product-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 mt-md-2 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"consumerWebCopyDiv\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-wrapper-b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-and-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row product-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 mt-md-2 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"consumerWebCopyDiv\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEMD GP38-2 DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the early 1970s, many first generation diesels were reaching the end of their service lives. The most common replacement locomotive became the GP38-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, non-turbocharged, 2000 horsepower engine in 1972. Unlike the GP38’s engine, which drove a generator to supply power to the traction motors, the GP38-2s prime mover drove an alternator which produced AC electrical current that was rectified to DC to power the four traction motors. Another major change for the GP38-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP38-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, helpers, snow fighting trains, and hump power.

Painted in an attractive green and yellow scheme, they featured early foot boards on both ends, nose gyralight, cab beacon, 3200gal fuel tank, and non-dynamic brakes. The railroad was purchased by the large Genesee and Wyoming group in 2005. #508 would become EARY #2014 and #509 would become BAYL #2015.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-wrapper-b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-and-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row product-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 value content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 mt-md-2 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"consumerWebCopyDiv\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-wrapper-b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-and-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row product-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 mt-md-2 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"consumerWebCopyDiv\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-wrapper-b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-and-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row product-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 mt-md-2 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"consumerWebCopyDiv\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-wrapper-b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-and-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row product-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 mt-md-2 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"consumerWebCopyDiv\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEMD GP38-2 DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the early 1970s, many first generation diesels were reaching the end of their service lives. The most common replacement locomotive became the GP38-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, non-turbocharged, 2000 horsepower engine in 1972. Unlike the GP38’s engine, which drove a generator to supply power to the traction motors, the GP38-2s prime mover drove an alternator which produced AC electrical current that was rectified to DC to power the four traction motors. Another major change for the GP38-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP38-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, helpers, snow fighting trains, and hump power. Many remain in service today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection

Painted in an attractive green and yellow scheme, they featured early foot boards on both ends, nose gyralight, cab beacon, 3200gal fuel tank, and non-dynamic brakes.

The most common replacement locomotive became the GP38-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, non-turbocharged, 2000 horsepower engine in 1972. Unlike the GP38’s engine, which drove a generator to supply power to the traction motors, the GP38-2s prime mover drove an alternator which produced AC electrical current that was rectified to DC to power the four traction motors. Another major change for the GP38-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet.
