Overview

The NW-2 was such a popular switcher, that not even World War II could squelch the demand. EMD introduced the 1,000 h.p. locomotive in 1939 and production was halted between 1942 and 1945 by the War Production Board. The WPB placed restrictions on locomotive manufacturers during that time due to the war effort. By the time EMD stopped producing the NW-2 in 1949, they had sold over 1,100 units.

The 125-ton NW-2 ran on a 12-cylinder 567 engine worked hard on lines such as Western Maryland and Union Pacific. EMD was especially proud of the NW-2 because it had all EMD-built electrical equipment. Up to 1938, they had used General Electric and Westinghouse components.

This switcher represents what a little perseverance can amount to. This near scale replica of the NW-2 will be a great addition to your cherished collection. Get your NW-2 today!

Did You Know? The NW-2 could be semipermanently coupled to cabless booster units. These transfer units were known as cow calf TR2 and herd TR3.
