Without a doubt, BN was very happy with the EMD SD40-2. The reliability and ease of maintenance made these locomotives a company favorite. BNâs operating territory in the mountainous Pacific Northwest included routes with tunnels, including the 7.80-mile-long Cascade Tunnel. Consequently, it doesnât seem too far-fetched for BN to have possibly ordered SD40T-2âs to work this territory. In an alternate timeline, BN tested SPâs SD45T-2âs and SD40T-2âs, liked the results and ordered 20-units for use on former Great Northern and Northern Pacific trackage. We think that these Tunnel Motors look great in Cascade Green and black and are a fine addition to our Legendary Liveries series!
