	Encyclopedia: EMD
		EMD can lay claim to being the company that ended the dominion of the steam locomotive on the world's railroads, by both producing high-quality, reliable locomotives, and just as importantly (maybe more so) knowing how to sell them.
		By the end of the 1930s, EMD had a diesel engine powerful and reliable enough for road locomotive use; the new technology found its first uses in glittering prow-nosed passenger locomotives, but EMD's eye was on the meat - freight service.
		The 1960s saw EMD consolidate their position as the dominant locomotive builder in the USA; new, high power locomotives, like the 3000 horsepower (2.2 MW) EMD SD40 and the 3600 horsepower (2.7 MW) EMD SD45 V20 were produced and proved highly successful.

	Alco versus EMD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		EMD was expanding both domestically and abroad, even though at least one financial analyst viewed the locomotive industry as "one of the least profitable ends of the capital goods business." It would seem unlikely, therefore, that Alco executives would choose to concentrate still further on the diesel locomotive industry.
		EMD thus knew, as it had since the 1930s, that public pressure could be a significant factor in encouraging railroads to replace their dirty and noisy steam locomotives with modern diesels.
		EMD ads initially stressed "super-production and super-transportation." By the late 1940s, the emphasis of the ads had shifted from "selling the concept of the diesel-electric to selling complete and total dieselization." EMD ads in the early 1950s continued to focus on the elimination of steam, but with the addition of statistical information.

		During the Second World War, EMD engines powered the famous U.S. Navy LST vessels and sub-chasers while our locomotives were fast becoming the choice to move the goods that victory was made.
		In 1972, EMD premiered the Dash 2 locomotive which would become the backbone and workhorse of the North American fleet...
		The largest single order for locomotives ever placed with EMD by the Union Pacific for 1,000 SD70M is also the largest order given in their history.

	List of GM-EMD locomotives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cowl units, originally produced at the request of the Santa Fe, had a full-width 'cowl' body built on a hood unit frame which provided all the structural strength; the bodywork was cosmetic, rather than a load-bearing bridge truss frame as in cab units.
		In addition to the more common models noted above, EMD built several motorized railcars, integrated streamliner trainsets, and experimental locomotives at the beginning of the streamline era in the late 1930s.
		The vast majority were EMD engines and components inside a carbody built by another manufacturer, since EMD did not have the ability to build their own bodies until 1936.

		The (additional info and facts about locomotive frame) locomotive frame length required exceeded the abilities of EMD's plant, so the frames were fabricated by an outside contractor, the John Mohr Company of Chicago.
		Even today, it is one of the most powerful diesel locomotives ever, although it achieves this by using two (An internal-combustion engine that burns heavy oil) diesel engines.
		For the first time, the locomotive was able to load-test itself, using its (additional info and facts about dynamic braking) dynamic braking resistors as an electrical load so that external equipment was not required.

	BL2
		The eventual result would be the road switcher, but not before EMD produced the BL2-a transitional locomotive that served as a test-bed for the latter road switchers.
		To design this locomotive, EMD essentially modified a F3 cab unit into a road switcher by adding front and read platforms, narrow the hood so the crew in the cab can see the person on the front "porch", and attempting to make the unit visually attractive for possible passenger service.
		EMD therefore modified the throttle design in the BL1 demonstrator and redesignated the model BL2.

	EMD For Kids
		Objectives The objective of this meeting was to consolidate the experiences of a number of nationally recognized EMD experts, together with data from a recent survey conducted by the Georgia Office of EMS, to address a number of questions about the ability of the nation's EMD system to respond to the needs of children.
		It was the observation of one participant that as few as 10 percent of EMD systems are fully and rigorously adhering to all EMD policies, practices, procedures, and protocols, and have a continuous quality improvement system in place that actively monitors and assesses a statistically significant percentage of EMD calls.
		Only with continuous evaluative case review of EMD performance in dealing with children both as callers and patients will the definitive issues regarding children's special health needs and treatment issues be better understood and dealt with by medical dispatch protocol and training standards organizations.

	EMD Switchers
		Dieselization began in earnest after WWII and EMD’s switchers dominated the market.
		EMD’s first 1200 hp yard switcher was the SW7 and it also featured a V-12 567-A engine -- 450 units were built between 10/49 and 01/51.
		The appearance of the NW2 Phase V and the SW7’s is very similar, as they had the same size carbody and louver patterns.

		The metal shrouds fitted over the radiators, caused the cooling air to be drawn over the walkway, which meant inside a tunnel or snowshed, the air at the bottom of the tunnel was hopefully cooler than the air/exhaust gas at the top.
		The recent discovery of records from EMD's Quality Assurance Department shows that the very first frame from the first Tunnel Motors, EMD order 7336, for SP 9166-9208, was laid down on December 13, 1971.
		With the understanding that each department at EMD (Engineering, Sales, and Service) was truly different in their methods, the T-2 designation was definitely part of EMD's engineering reference, with sales (locomotive specification books) and service (product reference books) coming to the game a couple years after the fact.
