The EMD NW2 is a 1000 hp (750 kW) B-B switcher locomotive manufactured by General Motors Electro-Motive Division of La Grange Illinois. The NW2 was manufactured from February 1939 to December 1949 and 1145 were produced – 1121 for the U.S. and 24 were exported to Canada. Starting in late 1948 the NW2s were manufactured in EMD’s Plant #3 in Cleveland Ohio. The 1000 hp (750 kW) was achieved by using a 12-cylinder model 567 and later a model 567A engine.
