GP38-2 - Union Pacific® #358 (without Dynamic Brakes)

Entering service in 1972 as a successor to the GP38, the GP38-2 remained in production until 1986, becoming one of the most popular four-axle road switchers of the "second generation" diesel era. A total of 2,264 examples were constructed, with the majority going to operators in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Demonstrating efficient performance in lighter duties, the GP38-2 could be found in yards and on local freight jobs, while certain examples were geared for passenger service with commuter operators. The Bachmann GP38-2 returns to our HO Scale line with newly upgraded Soundtraxx® DCC, now featuring Econami™ sound, and new paint schemes and road numbers.
