Locomotive information:
In the mid 1960's as road switcher locomotives became more and more poweful, it was apparent that there was a demand for medium powered units among many of North America's railroads. In 1966, General Motors - Electro Motive Division issued a locomotive designed specifically for this market, the 2000hp GP38.
In 1972, a revised version was made available, which while externally very similar to it's predecessor, was a very different locomotive. The GP38-2's control system was electronic, and AC power produced by an alternator was rectified to supply the DC traction motors.
The GP38-2 proved to be a reliable and cost effective workhorse that found it's way onto most US railroads, and by 1980 sales had reached over 2000 units.
This popular locomotive is a great example of American railroading in the diesel era.
