However, after the restriction was lifted, the NW2 sprung back as many railroads placed orders for this popular little 1000hp powerhouse. In 2024 a few of these locomotives can still be found enjoying continued service in rail yards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionTitle\"\u003e \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=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionContent\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #ff0000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies = Big Inventory ∙\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cem\u003eValue Pricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kato N","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48320488112281,"sku":"KAT1764393","price":192.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/91274981854239_uyhb__67839.1749160752.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784160866","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/kato-n-176-4393-dcc-ready-emd-nw2-locomotive-grand-trunk-western-gt-7906","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
