One of the most common replacement locomotives became the GP40-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, turbocharged, 3000 horsepower engines 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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eONT FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEx-B\u0026amp;M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrugated grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-dynamic hatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear ditch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide-mounted hood bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM3 horn on long hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlomberg M trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge fuel tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge front anticlimber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall EMD front plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit number boards and class lights if equipped (effect in DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ontario Northland Railway is operated by the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission, part of the government of Ontario, Canada.
