Part of the EMD Dash 2 line, the GP38-2 was an upgraded version of the earlier GP38. Power is provided by an EMD 645E 16-cylinder engine, which generates 2,000 horsepower (1.5 MW). GP38-2WCanadian National 4769, a GMD GP38-2, with a CN-spec comfort cab in Saint-Félicien, Quebec The GP38-2W is a Canadian variant of the GP38-2. It is easily distinguished by its wide-nose Canadian comfort cab. 51 of these locomotives were produced for the Canadian National Railway during 1973–1974. Although a W is commonly suffixed to the name, it is actually an addition by enthusiasts to help specify the presence of a CN-spec comfort cab. No locomotives built using CN’s design of comfort cab ever featured a W in their designation, as the presence of the cab did not mechanically alter the locomotive. This is reflected by the lack of the “W” in the model designation on the builders’ plates of these units. There are snow shields above the inertial-filter central air intakes behind the cab; the electrical boxes and equipment blower behind the cab also differ in detail from a standard GP38-2. They are otherwise identical. Original buyers1,851 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads and industrial concerns, 206 for Canadian railroads and industrial The EMD GP38-2 is an American four-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors, Electro-Motive Division. Part of the EMD Dash 2 line, the GP38-2 was an upgraded version of the earlier GP38. Power is provided by an EMD 645E 16-cylinder engine, which generates 2,000 horsepower (1.5 MW). The EMD Dash 2 is a line of diesel-electric locomotives introduced by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division (EMD) on January 1, 1972. Designations of these models were those of the former models with “-2″ added (e.g., the SD40 was replaced by the SD40-2). They retained the basic specifications of the earlier models in terms of power output and most other features, but introduced a number of improvements to the locomotives’ internal systems, specifically the electrical systems and the trucks of the locomotives. These were intended to improve availability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. One major improvement was a modularized electrical control cabinet, allowing maintenance by unit replacement and the use of common parts. These concepts were first tested on the DDA40X. ChangesMinor externally visible changes common across the whole line include the following: Modified trucks with damping struts. Four-axle trucks have damping struts on two diagonally opposite corners. Six-axle trucks have them on the center axle.Six axle trucks with all traction motors pointing towards the center. This improves the truck’s factor of adhesion but also increases each truck’s overall length. The locomotive’s frame was lengthened as a consequence. These were the HT-C trucks which were employed for the next 20 years. The older Flexicoil C trucks remained a seldom-selected option.Engine water level sight glass on the rear upper right-hand side of the long hood.Battery boxes in front of the cab have bolted down covers, rather than hinged.Circular access panels added at the top corners of the long hood.Cab roof extends slightly beyond the cab rear to accommodate the larger electrical cabinet.ModelsThe Dash 2 line was highly successful.
