The GT26CW-2 the Dash-2 variant of the GT26CW diesel-electric locomotive series created by the Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors for export to Iran, Israel, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, South Korea, Turkey and Yugoslavia. Various licensees have also constructed or refurbished this model. It is similar to the highly-successful SD40-2 North American locomotive.

Iran

The Islamic Republic of Iran Railways (RAI) purchased 80 GT26CW-2s along with 182 GT26CWs . All GT26CW locomotives were manufactured by General Motors Diesel Division of Chicago, Illinois, 20 GT26CW-2s were constructed by General Motors Diesel Division of London, Ontario and the remaining were built by Hyundai, a Korean licensee of General Motors Diesel Division. Out of 262 GT26CW locomotives, 180 units are currently in revenue service. All RAI locomotives have three 48 inch fans instead of 2 which is a necessary provision for hot climate of Iran.

Israel

As of 2017, Israel Railways operates eleven GT26CW-2 locomotives. It purchased one unit from EMD in 1989 for the purpose of hauling coal imported through the Port of Ashdod to the Rutenberg Power Station in Ashkelon until a dedicated coal pier was completed at the Rutenberg site in 2000. Since then the locomotive, numbered 701, has been used for general freight service on Israel Railways' network.

In the mid-2010s Israel Railways purchased ten completely-rebuilt units from NRE designated as NGT26 who refurbished them at a facility in Croatia. These units were delivered from August 2015 through August 2017 and numbered 710-719.

Peru

The Empresa Nacional de Ferrocarriles del Peru (Enafer) operates seven GT26CW-2s for the mining region. All were constructed by General Motors Diesel Division of London, Ontario.

South Korea

From December 1989 to October 2000, the Korean National Railroad received GT26CW-2s from Electro-Motive Division and Hyundai Rolling Stock Co. (present:Hyundai Rotem) The locomotives are used for freight service, Mugunghwa passenger trains, Saemaul passenger trains, and excursion trains (G-Train, S-Train, and the Haerang). on all Korail lines, though some are currently owned by the Korea Rail Network Authority.

Very little is known about their construction. However, it is known that 83 units were constructed between December 1989 and October 1996 as the 7300-series, 41 were constructed between December 1996 and May 1998 as 7400-series units 7401-7414 and 7500-series units 7557-7583, and 70 units were constructed between November 1998 and October 2000 as 7400-series units 7415-7484.

Turkey

The Turkish State Railways received 89 units built by Tülomsaş between 2003-2009. The units are numbered TCDD DE33000. They have the latest innovations of the GT26 series, mainly noticed by a spacier cab view.

Yugoslavia

The Yugoslav Railways (Jugoslavenske Željeznice) received 14 GM GT26CW-2s from EMD. Mainly used for freight and passenger trains between Knin and Split (Dalmatinska pruga, today part of M604 railway (Croatia)). All locomotives went to service on Hrvatske Željeznice after the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991. They are now classified as HŽ series 2063. In the meanwhile, some were sold to NRE which then completely rebuilt and refurbished them in Croatia before selling some of them to Israel Railways.
