EMD therefore designed a lightweight "cowl" body to cover the locomotive, though it did not, as in earlier cab units, provide any structural strength, which remained in the frame.
A freight-only derivative, the EMD F45, was sold in greater numbers (86) to the Santa Fe, the Great Northern Railroad, and the Burlington Northern Railroad.
Preserved EMD E5 at Illinois Railway Museum The EMD E5 was a 2,000 hp, A1A-A1A passenger train-hauling diesel locomotive manufactured by General Motors Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois, and produced exclusively for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (The Burlington Route) during 1940 and 1941.

 REPORT
EMD / F45 / 3600 hp / 6 axles C-C wheel arrangement SANTA FE 5900-5939 (1900-1939).
The F45s owe their ancestory to EMD FP45s which were built on special order for Santa Fe to handle passenger service and were delivered in passenger colors.
Apparently Santa Fe liked the new style body (the FP45 is basicly an SD45 with a cowled car body and steam generator), for instead of reordering SD45s the road asked for a freight version of the FP45.

EMD FP45 of the Santa Fe The EMD FP45 is a cowl unit type of C-C diesel locomotive produced in the United States by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors.
It was produced from 1967 at the request of the Santa Fe, who did not want freight-style locomotives to haul its prestigious Super Chief and other passenger trains.
The Santa Fe purchased nine of the locomotives, and the Milwaukee Road bought five for its passenger service.

The 6900 is preserved in running condition with the venerable 4-8-4 Northern 844 and 4-6-6-4 Challenger 3985 at UP's Cheyenne roundhouse (and the 6946, built 9-1971, b/n 35520, last of 47 "Centennial" locomotives constructed, was donated by UP to the Feather River Rail Society and sits at their Portola Railroad Museum in the high Sierras).
EMD declined, stating low profits forecast for another special design, and referred the UP team to the Berlinerwerke, with which EMD had a close working relationship.
The DDP45 uses two standard EMD D trucks with heavier journals, spanning two pairs of DD35 fuel tanks (it was felt that it was safer and less expensive to have multiple smaller tanks).

True, a medium-horsepower EMD GP38-2 may look almost identical to its high-horsepower sister GP60, but the GP38-2 turns out a mere 2000 h.p.
The first and most popular cowl units were EMD F45's and FP45's, built at the behest of Santa Fe and later for Milwaukee Road, Great Northern, and Burlington Northern.
GM's SD50F's, SD60F's (Canadian National), and SD40-2F's (CP Rail) are the only new full-cowl units built for freight service since the demise of EMD's F45 in 1971, but the legacy of one aspect of the cowl unit - its roomy, streamlined cab - survives in the contours of today's comfort cab.

EMD’s F45 was built for Santa Fe, Great Northern in 1968.
A 3600 hp unit the F45 was basically a full bodied SD45.
The F45 kit is offered in N scale and is designed to fit the Kato SD40/45 mechanism as well as the newer DCC ready Kato SD40 mechanism (not included).

It was noticably shorter (67 feet 5.5 inches compared to the FP45's 72 feet 4 inches) due to the lack of a steam generator section at the rear of the unit.
The F45 weighed in at 395,000 lbs and carried 4000 gallons of fuel in its underbody tank.
Dubbed the "Kodachrome" scheme for its similarity to Kodak's red and yellow film boxes, the scheme was applied to over 300 Santa Fe locomotives, including half the F45 fleet, before the ICC rejected the merger in July 1986.

The locomotives were upgraded with EMD Dash 2 electonics, and a shaft driven HEP generator was added to provide power to trailing coaches.
Finally, the ex-BN F45 carbodies were cut down to fit the GP40 frames, and the external access panels were re-arranged to fit the shorter body.
Note: It is commonly thought that the Tri-Rail F40PHL-2s are EMD F40PHs rebuilt with F45 cabs and anticlimbers.

Built by EMD starting in 1965, more than 1200 of the SD45s were eventually built.
Built between 1972 - 1988 the EMD SD40-2 is arguably the most popular diesel locomotive ever built, with the majority of them still in active service today.

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 models are made from stock Athearn F45 engines, with the A units powered, and the B unit a dummy.
Karl has numbered the A units to continue the numbering scheme from BNSF's own former roster numbers of F45 locomotives, and the B unit continues the numbering scheme from Santa Fe's SD45B/SD45-2B series.

We had three ex- Burlington Northern EMD F45 locomotives that were rated at 3600 HP each, one of which, (1001) came from Doyle McCormick and had been painted in an interesting New York Central/Daylight scheme.
The plant was located in the rear end of the locomotive and was a nice little 50 KW plant powered by a Detroit Diesel 8V92TA Diesel engine.
The cooling system for this engine was tied into the cooling system for the locomotive prime mover, an EMD 20 cylinder 645E3 Diesel engine.
