The EMD GP40-2 is a four-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division as part of its Dash 2 line between April 1972 and December 1986. An EMD 645E3 16-cylinder engine generated 3,000 horsepower. Standard production totaled 861 units, 817 for US railroads and 44 for Mexican railroads, and General Motors Diesel built another 279 between 1974 and 1976, with three GP40P-2 passenger versions in 1974, for a total of 1,143 with variants.
