The BL2 was EMD's first attempt at a hood unit road switcher. Basically F3 machinery with a narrowed hood for better visibility for switching work. In fact the cab area still maintained some of the F unit dimentions. There was one BL1 and 58 BL2 units produced from 02/48 to 05/49. There were no differences between the BL1 or BL2's. EMD began production of the GP7 in October 1949.
