When they started to dieselize in 1940, they purchased a few Alco switchers. By the 1950’s, RF\u0026amp;P’s diesel roster was primarily EMD. Liking the performance of the EMD GP35 and GP40, they purchased seven GP40-2’s in 1972. After being absorbed into the CSX system in 1991, the GP40-2’s were patched, then repainted into the then-new CSX corporate colors. An oddity for CSX, these units stand out as being part of the few non-dynamic road units on their roster.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"short-text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRF\u0026amp;P FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Phase body w\/ chickenwire grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit Numberboards and class lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeslie 3-Chime horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge Sinclair antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-Dynamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs-Delivered appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootboards on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlomberg M trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\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":48387236855961,"sku":"ATHG-1747","price":195.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/ATHG-1766_A0_T6W59TW1.jpg?v=1785366631","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-ho-athg-1766-dcc-tsunami-2-sound-equipped-emd-gp40-2-locomotive-rf-p-141-copy-1","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
