EMD
NW2 Switcher
|
|
|
|
Prototype Information:
EMD’s
NW2 switcher’s lifetime was nearly
cut short just three years after its
introduction, with the establishment
of the War Production Board in 1942,
which dictated that EMD was to halt all
production of switching locomotives,
manufacturing only road diesels during
the years of 1942 to 1945. However, such
was the popularity of this end cab switching
locomotive that after the restriction
was lifted, the NW2 sprung back as many
railroads placed orders for this little
1000hp powerhouse; today these locomotives
can still be found enjoying continued
service in rail yards.
