The EMD NW2 is a 1,000 horsepower B-B switcher locomotive manufactured by General Motors Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois. Between February 1939 and December 1949 EMD produced 1,145 of them, 1,121 for US railroads and 24 for Canadian railroads, with production moving to EMD's Plant 3 in Cleveland, Ohio from late 1948. A 12-cylinder model 567 engine powered the early units and the 567A later ones. EMD also built three TR cow-calf sets, 72 TR2 sets and two TR3 sets. Two stacks in the middle of the hood and a half-height radiator grille identify it. Numerous NW2s remain in revenue service in North America.
