By the time EMD introduced the GP40, western roads mostly held contempt for predecessor GP35, purchasing instead large quantities of six-axle road units as soon as they were available.
The GP40 was one of EMD's most popular 4-axle road units, finding favor with roads in east and Midwest.
EMD sold over 1,000 units of the model and its variants to western roads during the 1960s and early 70s.

Considering the number of GP40-2s still in service, EMD won that contest.
CSX's ex-Chessie System GP40-2s were built for both power and speed.
The 645 engine was peaking in the '70s and it took EMD awhile to get all the kinks out of the 710, so it's no surprise that GE's -8 series gave them market dominance in the '80s and beyond.
