The unit wears standard NYSE yellow paint and is a common sight along the line. NYSW 3024 wears a special silver-and-maroon scheme inspired by the classis Susquehanna Alco RS1 and S2 locos. It rolled out of the paint shop in April of 2023.\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;
