  EMD E2 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The E2, along with the more-or-less simultaneous EA/EB for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the E1 for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, represented an important step in the evolution of the passenger diesel locomotive.
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.
The E2 locomotives were replaced by new E6 locomotives in 1940; the joint ownership was terminated at that point.

 EMD F9 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
EMD F9 image=DRGW F9 5771.jpgcaption=DandRGW F9 #5771, 1960.
The EMD F9 was a 1,750hp B-B freight-hauling diesel locomotive produced between January 1954 and April 1957 by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division.
By the time cab units such as the F9 were built, railroads were turning to the road switcher-style of locomotive, and the F9 was succeeded in most part by the EMD GP9.

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—along with the more-or-less simultaneous EA/EB for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the E2 for the Union Pacific Railroad, Chicago and Northwestern Railway and Southern Pacific Railroad—represented an important step in the evolution of the passenger diesel locomotive.
This basic "slant nose" style was continued in the subsequent E3, E4, E5 and E6 models, while a more "bulldog nose" style was tried in the E2 and a style somewhere in between was used for the E7, E8 and E9, as well as the freight diesel cab units.

The EMD E8 was a 2,250 hp, A1A-A1A passenger train locomotive manufactured by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of La Grange, Illinois.
The cab version, or E8A, was manufactured from August, 1949 to December, 1953, and 421 were produced – 418 for the U.S., and 3 for Canada.
The E8 was the ninth model in a long line of passenger diesels of similar design known as EMD E-units.

EMD AB6 — a unique cab-equipped booster built for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad.
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.
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.

 EMD Biosciences - Calbiochem: Product Spotlight/Ubiquitinated Protein Enrichment Kit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
A protein marked for degradation is covalently attached to multiple molecules of ubiquitin, a highly conserved 76-amino acid (8.6 kDA) protein, by a multi-enzymatic system consisting of Ubiquitin-activating (E1), Ubiquitin-conjugating (E2), and the Ubiquitin-ligating (E3) enzymes.
The E1 activates a Ubiquitin monomer at its C-terminal cysteine residue to a high-energy thiolester bond which is then transferred to a reactive cysteine residue of the E2 enzyme.
Ubiquitinated protein is then escorted to the 26S proteasome where it undergoes final degradation and the ubiquitin is released and recycled.

 Southern Pacific Railroad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This locomotive was nessesary because the standard configuration EMD SD45 could not get a sufficient amount of cool air into the diesel locomotive's radiatior while working Southern Pacific's extensive snow shed and tunnel system in the Cascades and Donner Pass.
These "Tunnel Motors" were esentially EMD SD45s with radiator air intakes located at the locomotive carbody's walkway level, rather than EMD's typical radiator setup with fans on the locomotive's long hood roof blowing fresh air downwards through the radiator.
Inside tunnels and snowsheds, the hot exhaust gases from lead units would accumulate near the top of the tunnel or snowshed, and be drawn into the radiators of trailing EMD (non-tunnel motor) locomotives, leading these locomotives to shut down as their diesel prime mover overheated.

surely i couldnt be the ONLY one that would want an E2 in thier passenger fleet.
I'm not aware of any RTR N scale E2, there may be a brass model out there but expect to pay big money for it.
I'd like to see some early E units too but the problem seems to be that most of the pre-E6 locos were built for a small number of roads - some were only built for a single buyer (UP in the case of the E2s).
