 Union Pacific Early Diesel Switchers
Like many of the transition models, the Phase V NW2 (none were owned by UP), was very similar to Phase I of the follow-on model SW7, with the major difference being that the NW2 version had the short radiator fan intake section on the front of the unit.
With the introduction of the SW9, EMD also did away with the last of the fabricated simulations of a cast frame, a holdover from the pre-World War Two days when a welded frame was deemed inferior to a cast frame.
In summary, Union Pacific's ownership of 179 early EMD NW2, SW7, SW9 and TR5A and TR5B switchers contributed greatly to the total dieselization of the railroad by early 1959.

 SP No.1423 - Niles Canyon Railway
The former Southern Pacific NW2, (was) donated to us by the Parr Terminal Railroad in Richmond.
Although all agreed that the NW2 would be a great addition to our collection, it almost was turned down due to concerns as to how to move it.
The GM EMD NW2 locomotive hopefully soon will provide some much needed relief for the increasingly fragile GE center-cab diesel fleet.

 EMD Switchers
The NW2 model featured a 1000 hp V-12 567-A engine -- 888 such locomotives were built by 1950.
EMD’s first 1200 hp yard switcher was the SW7 and it also featured a V-12 567-A engine -- 450 units were built between 10/49 and 01/51.
The appearance of the NW2 Phase V and the SW7’s is very similar, as they had the same size carbody and louver patterns.
