EMD E1 - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | The EMD E1 was an early passenger-train diesel locomotive developing 1,800 hp, with an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement, and manufactured by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois. |
 | | The E1 was the second model in a long line of passenger diesels of similar design known as EMD E-units. |
 | | While the EA, E1 and E2 were each built for a specific railroad, they were largely identical mechanically and were a step further away from the custom-built, integrated streamliner and towards mass-produced passenger locomotives—a step achieved with the E3, E4, E5, and E6, EMD's next models. |
