They placed their first order of 20 GP40-2s (SP 7608-7627) from EMD with order number 776071 in 1978. Being rather late to the table for this model, SP seemed to be impressed and ended up ordering 4 more batches including some for their subsidiary, Cotton Belt. SP-specific features include: 4-hole jacking pads, Nathan P3 horns, large “L” front window, and full SP light packages on both ends. From SP’s 3rd order of GP40-2’s, we are pleased to announce their only GP40-2 “Kodachrome” repaint, SP 7672. From the failed Santa Fe\/SP merger of 1986, many units were repainted into this bright scheme in anticipation of a merger that was ultimately denied.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"short-text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSP FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit number boards and class lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge front plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL-style front window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof-mounted A\/C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSP full light package with gyralights (effect in DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating red warning light when in emergency (effect in DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row pb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e#7672\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e“Kodachrome” repaint, frame-mounted bell, standard battery box doors, exhaust silencer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row pb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\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;

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\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies - Big Inventory ∙\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eValue \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn HO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48386849013913,"sku":"ATHG-1756","price":275.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/ATHG-1756_A0_1PYHFY9I.jpg?v=1785362228","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-ho-athg-1755-dcc-tsunami-2-sound-equipped-emd-gp40-2-locomotive-southern-pacific-sp-7625-copy","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
