Profile of a SD40-2

Sitting in Erlanger Yard in Northern KY, Norfolk Southern SD40-2 #3331 idles in the yard waiting for its next job. The unit was originally built for Conrail, and is still going strong despite being almost 38 years old. The unit replaced NS "TRANCAER" GP59 #4611 for NKY local service, but Transcaer is still in the Cincinnati area.
