	BL2
		The eventual result would be the road switcher, but not before EMD produced the BL2-a transitional locomotive that served as a test-bed for the latter road switchers.
		The introduction of the GP7 model in late 1949 by EMD sealed the fate of the BL2.
		The BL2 was merely an (un-intended) experimental locomotive that was a unique sight on the rails that were dominated by cab units and, later, road switchers.

		EMD can lay claim to being the company that ended the dominion of the steam locomotive on the world's railroads, by both producing high-quality, reliable locomotives, and just as importantly (maybe more so) knowing how to sell them.
		The 1960s saw EMD consolidate their position as the dominant locomotive builder in the USA; new, high power locomotives, like the 3000 horsepower (2.2 MW) EMD SD40 and the 3600 horsepower (2.7 MW) EMD SD45 V20 were produced and proved highly successful.

	Life-Like EMD BL2
		Life-Like's N scale BL2 is an accurate, good-running locomotive that continues this firm's commendable trend toward better quality.
		Beauty is, after all, in the eye of the beholder, and the BL2 is an interesting and distinctive prototype that sort of grows on you.
		Reviewed: 12/01 Model Railroader- "Life-Like introduced an N scale BL2 back in 1982, and a pretty good one at that, but this new model is entirely new and improved under the hood.

	Monon Northern Division - Equipment
		In 1967 the Monon employed a unique mix of Alco, EMD and repowered FM locomotives.
		While the switch jobs were the domain of the NW2s, the transfers were handled by whatever unit was available, from the NW2s to BL2s and F3s to single C628s running long hood forward.
		The passenger train was handled by high-hood steam generator-equipped C420s 501 and 502, which were often swapped for a BL2, RS2 or pair of F3s at South Hammond for the short run to Dearborn Station.

		I love EMD's BL2 especially painted in FEC red and yellow with silver stripes and fl cat whiskers.
		This ugly duckling proved to EMD that road crews needed visibility both front and back.
