About the Chessie EMD NW2
The EMD NW2 is a 1,000 horsepower yard switcher, its distinctive twin-stack profile and short radiator creating a distinctive silhouette. Perhaps ironic, considering its 1000 horsepower engine, the N in NW2 stood for nine hundred horsepower, with the W designating that it was a welded frame locomotive, instead of a cast frame. After the Chessie System merger, many NW2 locomotives retained the B+O or C+O designation of what railroad they originally ran on, despite the adoption of the Chessie paint scheme.
