 O EMD E8 History
In August 1949, EMD replaced the E7 model of passenger locomotives with the new E8 model.
The E8 could be distinguished from the earlier model, however, by the use of four widely spaced portholes on
Each E8 was equipped with two V12 567B engines with a total of 2250HP.

 Union Pacific Diesel Story, 1934-1982, Part 3
EMD offered GP9 245 to UP at a reduced price because it had undergone a brief demonstration on another road, and UP 246-248 were added to the same order to serve as UP's contribution to the Camas Prairie pool.
After EMD perfected its turbocharger in 1958, UP was one of the first roads to acquire the first locomotive model on which EMD mounted the device as standard equipment—the 2,400-horsepower SD24 design.
EMD's SD40 employed the builder's newest technology—the 645 model diesel engine, the AR10 alternator, and the D77 traction motor—and UP soon came to appreciate the reduced costs of owning and operating this six-axle, 3,000-horsepower unit over the those of the builder's previous combination of a 567 model engine and DC generator.

The design is getting to be a tad dated (like the Kato PA, it does not sport the now state-of-the-art vertical Kato split frame design), but it has a great motor and flywheels and simply glides down the rails.
It is also superior in looks to the old E8 shell Kato previously made for Con-Cor.
Prototype E8 and E9 carbodies were identical, so Kato's dual designation means the model can represent either locomotive.

And once production resumed in 1945, many were led by brand-new E7 diesels from EMD.
By 1948, the 567B prime mover was ready and the more powerful E8 entered production.
These units were built through 1954, when the virtually identical E9 with its 567C prime movers was introduced.
