## About This Content
The general purpose GP38-2 road switcher joins the Norfolk Southern stable for
Train Simulator.
As the successor to the previous GP38, more than 2,000 GP38-2 models were
built by General Motors between 1972 and 1986. The majority of models were put
into service on US railroads, although some were exported to Canada, Mexico
and Saudi Arabia.
Their modest power output of 2,000 horsepower from a 16 cylinder engine saw
them classified as road switchers, but were adequately able to haul light
freight across the US railroad network. Many remain in service today, more
than 40 years after entering service.
Most GP38-2 locomotives were built with a low hood, although some were built
in high hood variant, as portrayed in the EMD GP38-2 for Train Simulator,
which comes in Norfolk Southern black and thoroughbred liveries. Also included
are low gondola freight cars, NS box cars and flat cars.
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the Norfolk Southern GP38-2 High Hood on any Quick Drive enabled route for
Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are
scenarios specifically for the Norfolk Southern Coal District route (available
separately and required to play these scenarios).
