Introduced in 1972 and produced throughout the 1970’s this workhorse locomotive was used primarily in yard service for many Class I railroads. Basically, these units are a non-turbocharged version of the SD40-2, with a lower horsepower rating of 2000 horspower. Almost all of those produced are still in service today and, in many cases, being retrofitted as Remote Control yard locomotives.
