One of the 15 EMD NW2 switchers owned by the Santa Fe is seen at Fort Worth, Texas, circa 1950. This was a 1,000 hp (750 kW), Bo-Bo diesel-electric manufactured from February 1939 to December 1949, of which 1145 were produced – 1121 for the U.S. and 24 for Canada. They used a 12-cylinder, model 567, later, a model 567A engine. In addition, 3 TR cow-calf paired sets, 36 TR2 cow-calf paired sets, and 2 TR3 cow-calf-calf sets were produced. The TR sets were built prior to WW2 and the TR2 and TR3 sets were built postwar.
