Models
The Dash 2 line was highly successful. The models offered included the following:
- F40PH
- GP38-2
- GP38-2W
- GP39-2
- GP40-2
- GP40-2L(W)
- GP40-2W
- GP40P-2
- SD38-2
- SD40-2
- SD40-2F
- SD40-2W
- SD40T-2
- SD40-2S
- SD45-2
- SD45T-2
While the passenger models mentioned are nearly extinct, most freight models have been retained, often being rebuilt into the functional equivalent of a GP38-2/SD38-2 or, more frequently, a GP40-2/SD40-2.
The GP39-2/SD39-2 haven't been forgotten, either, as these produce more horsepower than a 38 Series, but with less fuel consumption (an advantage of turbocharging over Roots-blown scavenging), and these also offer superior high-altitude performance. Plus the obvious advantage of 12 cylinders vs. 16 cylinders.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
