Description

This is Kato 1765320 EMD E8A ARR #2401. EMD E8A Alaska Railroad #2401. Carried on smooth-riding A-1-A Blomberg trucks, EMDs E8 locomotives were built for speed, making them prime candidates for passenger service. Sharing the distinctive bulldog nose carbody style with their shorter F-unit counterparts and powered by dual 12-cylinder prime movers riding atop A-1-A Blomberg trucks, EMDs E-units were both smooth riding as well as fast, making them exceptional at comfortably pulling long trains in passenger service. The Alaska Railroad owned a pair of E8s – ex-Amtrak units – #2401 and #2402, both acquired in the early 80s for use in its passenger operations.

Its key features are:
Locomotives will be equipped with a mix of body and truck mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers
