Between 1964 and 1966, EMD built a total of 360 six-axle 2,500hp SD35 locomotives. From the mid-1960s through the 1980s, the SD-35 could be found in road service on both larges and mid-sized roads across the US. Today the number of active units has dwindled to a select few, including those operated by regional Montana Rail Link. Atlas' model incorporates many of the subtle details that differentiated the various SD-35 production phases. This include the detail of the engine air intake, dust bin, radiator fans, fuel tanks and battery boxes.
