However, such was the popularity of this end cab switching locomotive that after the restriction was lifted, the NW2 sprung back as many railroads placed orders for this little 1000hp powerhouse; today these locomotives can still be found enjoying continued service in rail yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HHW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54455177216275,"sku":"176-4391","price":216.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9283\/4323\/files\/KatoNW2CN.png?v=1784396356","url":"https:\/\/southeasthobbies.com\/products\/kato-176-4391-n-scale-nw2-switcher-kobo-custom-painted-dc-silent-canadian-national","provider":"SoutheastHobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
