		This dual-mode FL9 was built for the New Haven Railroad in November 1960 at General Motor's Electro-Motive Division (EMD) and assigned road number 2057.
		It was rebuilt by the Chrome Locomotive Companyin Silvas, IL in 1985 at which time it was renumbered as #2023, and served both Connecticut and New York until retired from service in September 2002.
		The dual-mode FL9 operates normally in diesel-electric mode but converts to electified operation while in motion by lowering a shoe which makes contact with an energized third rail.

	EMD FL9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The EMD FL9 (New Haven Class EDER-5) was a dual-power electro-diesel locomotive, capable of self-powered diesel-electric operation and of operation as an electric locomotive powered from a third rail.
		The locomotive was based on the EMD FP9, but was lengthened further to accommodate the additional equipment needed, including a larger train heating steam boiler.
		Prior to the introduction of the FL9, all non-multiple unit New Haven passenger trains were hauled by electric locomotives between New York and New Haven, with a change to steam (before 1950) or diesel required for operation beyond New Haven.

	EMD's F Unit
		In an 11 month tour of 35 states and 20 Class 1 railroads, EMD FT (The F for freight and the T for 2700 horsepower with a 2 unit set) unit demonstrators #103A, 103, and 2 boosters, dealt a deathblow to the steam locomotive.
		This inflexible arrangement was unacceptable to railroads and EMD was forced to re-design the FT and later models with standard couplers.
		The FL9 was fitted with the EMD 567C or 567DI engine, generating 1750 and 1800 hp, respectively.

		The soulful sound of their mournful harmonic horns echoing in the distance, as they raced through the night, was a music that evoked thoughts and dreams of adventure and far away places.
		Some of their hardy successors, road switchers such as the ALCO RS1 and EMD GP10, are also shown here as a part of the evolution of rail engines.

		The FL9 locomotives were unique because they could operate off both their diesel prime mover and third-rail electric power.
		Before the invasion of the blue and yellow paint, many of the former New Haven FL9 ran around in their McGinnis-inspired paint scheme, such as the 5006 at Harmon in May 1971.
		PC 5022 spends a reflective moment amongst FL9 brethren at Harmon, NY, on September 14, 1975.

	Starting to think about prototypic modeling... - The Gauge - Model Train Forum - Scale Railroad Discussion & Model ...
		In fact, an FL9 is about 8 feet longer than an F unit.
		I'm not sure which direction I'll go with the FL9 but I am pleased to at least now know the difference between one and a regular F unit.
		I think that if you could find an Atlas fp9, and then install a 3 axle EMD truck from an Sd40 or similar era Sd unit, it would be pretty close to the prototype.

		When the MTA started funding the commuter runs operated by Penn Central in 1970, the idea was to apply new paint to the engines to signify the "new service." The colors were chosen to represent the State of New York, since the MTA is a function of the state government.

	May 2004 Letters to MRN
		First, in regards to your answers you mentioned that the FL9 was equipped with an AAR type B front truck.
		The reason for this is because the first two FL9 units 2000-2001, which were considered demonstrators since they had not been accepted by the New Haven until testing was completed, had EMD’s standard Blomberg B used on their other production models.
		The rear truck on the EMD FL9 is a modified EMD three-axle Flexicoil truck with the center traction motor removed, making it an A-1-A, and certainly not 6-axle.

		The NH ordered the FL-9 in several batches and would have ordered more if they hadn't entered bankruptcy.
		EMD started with their FP-9 and lengthened and modified it for the New Haven's needs.
		Thus, the FL-9 has a unique wheel arrangement, with four wheels carrying the front of the locomotive, and six carrying the rear.
