These units were built to Conrail specs and featured a cab signal box, small “weed cutter” plows, Leslie 3-chime horns, and small 2600gal fuel tanks. They operated out of Ohio hauling coal trains from their power plants in Ashtabula and Eastlake, OH. Usually running in sets of 4 (using one as a spare), they were used until their lease expired in 1997 and returned to their lessor. They would eventually be picked up by UP and then retired by 2008. Last reports show that they are in the GATX lease pool and could be seen operating wherever they are needed.\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\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\u003eCEIX FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs-delivered appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit class lights and number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear “weed cutter” plows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeslie 3-chime horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly\/mid-body with chickenwire grilles and standard fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEMD GP38-2 DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE 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\u003eOperating Class Lights (Where equipped based on prototype)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp;

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\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"modelFeatures\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\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":48395108221081,"sku":"ATHG-1828","price":267.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/ATHG-1828_A0_Q7LDND2P.jpg?v=1785420429","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-ho-athg-1827-dcc-tsunami-2-sound-equipped-emd-gp38-2-locomotive-southern-pacific-sp-4844-copy","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
