IMHO I would rather have two SD40-2s saved than another DDA40X, there is definitely an imbalance among the two models relative to the number produced, their success and their view among engineers.


Amen! We need more preserved SD40-2s!

Not to derail the thread, but are there more than 5 preserved?
I could only think of:

CNW 6847 at IRM
IC 6071 at Monticello
UP 3105 at Rail Giants Museum, Pomona
UP 9950 at Barstow RR Museum
CP 5903 at Exporail

We need some sd40-2s preserved in the east. Sadly, NS retires the last PRR SD40-2 for rebuild, but maybe CSX could donate one to the B&O museum or NS donate one to RRMPA. I would rather see sd40s and dash 8s preserves before another DD40AX restored.


Sorry, again, don't want to derail, but there's a new SD40-2 to add to the list! A few months ago, CSX donated an SD40-2, #8954, which still has her original 20-cylinder engine to the Southeastern Railway Musuem in Duluth, Georgia. https://www.train-museum.org/2018/08/31/csx-transportation-donates-rare-locomotive-to-southeastern-railway-museum/


If it has a 20-cylinder engine, it is NOT an SD40 or SD40-2. Most likely an SD45-2.
