built by Conrail. Conrail so loved their SD40-2's that in 1993 they decided to rebuild 40 units to 'Dash 2' specifications. For this project Conrail chose 30 of their own units and purchased an additional 10 former-Kansas City Southern SD40's from PAC Rail leasing. Conrail placed these rebuilt SD40-2R's into the series CR 6960-6999 (Source: "EMD SD40-2R Prototype Information", http://crcyc.railfan.net/locos/emd/sd402r/ sd402rproto.html). $189.99 w/o SOUND | $259.99 w/ SOUND Items listed are subject to cancellation if pre-order minimum production quantities are not met.
