Detroit, Toledo & Ironton EMD GP38-2

The EMD GP38-2 is an American four-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors, Electro-Motive Division. Part of the EMD Dash 2 line, the GP38-2 was an upgraded version of the earlier GP38.
Power is provided by an EMD 645E 16-cylinder engine, which generates 2,000 horsepower (1.5 MW).

The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad carried an interesting, "rags to riches" history. Its earliest component can be traced back to the late 1840's although the modern system did not appear until some decades later.

What began as a narrow-gauge coal hauler was transformed into a profitable auto parts carrier. The company's early years were fraught with bankruptcy as various owners strung together segments of rickety, poorly built railroad across western Ohio.

During the 1920's, Henry Ford became interested and everything changed. The legendary Detroit automaker, seeing potential in the DT&I, was able to turn the moribund property into a money-maker within only a few years.

Here we have the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad EMD GP38-2 locomotives.
