The Tiger Stripe scheme was an attempt to improve grade crossing visibility; the later “White Face” scheme was an outgrowth of this idea. Several SD40-2 units received this scheme before the BNSF merger. BN 1876 was originally the road’s Bicentennial 1976, but was damaged in a grade crossing accident shortly after. Another unit was quickly numbered as the BN 1976 (2nd), so this unit was repaired and renumbered to 1876 to honor the centennial of the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SD40-2 was introduced in January 1972 as part of EMD’s Dash 2 series, responding to competing products from GE and ALCO. Reliability and versatility of the 3,000-horsepower SD40-2 made it the best-selling model in EMD’s history and the standard of the industry for several decades after its introduction. The SD40-2 was an improvement over the SD40, with modular electronic control systems similar to those of the experimental SD45X and DDA40X. The last SD40-2 delivered to a United States railroad was built in July 1984, with production continuing for railroads in Canada until 1988.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through dynamic brake and radiator fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp;
