Kato (USA) 176-4817 EMD SD40-2 Early Pan Am Railways 607

As a prototype, the SD40-2 was the most popular second-generation diesel with sales of over 3000 in the U.S. and more than 700 in Canada. There were many variations of this popular diesel because of the long production run – “Early” units featured an 81” nose, chicken wire grills and a ratchet brake vs. a brake wheel that would be found on later units. The WSOR is headquartered in Milwaukee, where it operates on former Milwaukee road and C&NW trackage and has access to both grain elevators and harbour facilities.
