A nice gathering of power is lined up at Missouri-Kansas-Texas’ Glen Park Yard in Kansas City, Kansas, and brighten up a dreary and cold December 8, 1985. All EMDs, Nos. 601, 624 and 629 are SD40-2s, while No. 312 is an GP38-2.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
