	General Motors Electro-Motive Division - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		EMD can lay claim to being the company that ended the dominion of the steam locomotive on the world's railroads, by both producing high-quality, reliable locomotives, and just as importantly (maybe more so) knowing how to sell them.
		In 1949, EMD opened a new plant in London, Ontario which was operated by subsidiary General Motors Diesel (GMD), producing existing EMD as well as unique GMD designs for the Canadian domestic and export markets.
		The 1960s saw EMD consolidate their position as the dominant locomotive builder in the USA; new, high power locomotives, like the 3000 horsepower (2.2 MW) EMD SD40 and the 3600 horsepower (2.7 MW) EMD SD45 V20 were produced and proved highly successful.

	EMD FP45 - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation EMD FP45 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		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.
		The EMD SDP45 was a good passenger locomotive, but to the Santa Fe it did not look the part.
		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.

	EMD GP20D - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The GP20D is a four-axle B-B switcher built by MotivePower Industries and General Motors Electro-Motive Division.
		The GP20D is a hood unit with lowered long and short hoods based on MotivePower Industries' earlier MP2000D locomotives.
		Although the GP20D is marketed as a switcher, it has a top speed of 70 MPH, and is usually fitted with dynamic brakes, making it suitable for road switcher duties as well.

		The EMD F7 was a 1,500 hp B-B freight-hauling diesel locomotive produced between February 1949 and December 1953 by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division.
		The EMD F9 is distinguishable from the late F7 by having five, rather than four, carbody center louvre groups covering the carbody filters.
		EMD kept track of the marketing name (F7) and individual locomotives' build numbers.

	List of GM-EMD locomotives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.

	Power play - Railway Age, July 2000
		EMD says a projected dip for 2000 did not materialize-largely thanks to an order for 1,000 d.c.-traction SD70Ms from UP-and expects to deliver about the same number this year.
		EMD's technology efforts are centered on the FIRE (Functionally Integrated Railroad Electronics) control platform, which has been in service for one year.
		Both EMD and GE are producing a mixture of a.c.- and d.c.-traction units.

		The boxy carbodies of all but the Zephyrs were the work of GE's Erie, Pennsylvania works, EMD having not yet developed the ability to produce their own bodywork.
		The two EMD demonstrators, numbered 511 and 512, were built in May 1935 to demonstrate the future of passenger diesel power to potential customers.
		EMD #511 was loaned to the Santa Fe to be a backup to ATSF 1 and 1A during the first year of the Super Chief's run, painted in silver.

		EMD road diesels can be told by smooth, geometric hoods with two to four fans at the back (or at either end on early Geeps) and rectangular radiator intakes at the top on the sides.
		Their units range from the MP1500D and MP2000D diesel switchers (aka EMD GP15D and GP20D) to the natural-gas powered MK1200G and the high-horsepower MK5000C.
		These are used on modern GE and EMD 6-axle units as well as the GE Genesis passenger units.

		The EMD E4 was a 2,000 hp, A1A-A1A passenger train-hauling diesel locomotive built by the General Motors Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois.
		The 2,000 hp was achieved with two EMD model 567 V12 engines developing 1,000 hp, each engine driving its own generator to power the traction motors.
		Compared with other passenger locomotives made by EMD before and after these models, the noses of the E3, E4, and E6 cab units had pronounced slants when viewed from the side.

		The story of diesel's conquest of steam is better placed elsewhere, but a combination of many factors weakened steam's position and strengthened that of the diesel locomotive, and by the late 1940s to early 1950s, the majority of American railroads had decided to dieselize.
		In 1959, however, GE's patience with Alco was running thin; they appeared unable to compete with EMD, and in that year GE announced that it was going to enter the road locomotive field itself.
		Image Unavailable The early 1990s saw EMD introduce two new innovations; AC electric transmission for increased reliability and tractive effort at low speeds, and the radial steering truck which reduced wheel and track wear.

	EMD NW5 - Enpsychlopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The EMD NW5 was a 1,000 hp (750 kW) road switcher diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois between December 1946 and February 1947.
		The NW5, like the NW3 that preceded it, was basically an EMD NW2 switcher hood, prime mover (a V12 EMD 567 diesel engine) and main generator on a stretched frame and riding on road trucks (the standard EMD Blomberg B design).
		However, EMD were not seemingly very keen on producing road switchers at the time; Hayden speculates that the small profit and small numbers were not appealing, and that only when the prospects of high sales became more obvious did they place much interest in the concept.

	Railway Age: Is there a market for new switchers? - Brief Article
		While the units have the EMD 2000 microprocessor and all the performance and tractive effort enhancements of modern EMD locos, EMD chose a Caterpillar engine line to which it has exclusive access.
		The choice of a brand new, EPA-compliant CAT engine represents both a change from EMD's historical reliance on its own engineering as well as a bold move to offer users of low- and medium-power locomotives a unit that does not have to run continuously to remain in service.
		We're told that the EMD units retail (in assumed small quantities) for somewhat less than $1 million for the GP15D and somewhat more than $1.1 million for the GP20D.

		Idle operation is responsible for approximately 3% of exhaust emissions on mainline locomotives and 14% of total exhaust emissions on switcher locomotives.
		In fact, the GP20D is equivalent to one GP38-2 with road engine at the flick of a switch.
		I was very impressed with their 360 degree cab visibility (huge), low cab sound and vibration levels with heated front and rear tinted windows as well as all season climate control (of course).

		The SW1001 was developed because EMD's SW1000 model had proved unpopular among industrial railroad customers, because its walkway height and cab eaves height were much greater than those of earlier EMD switcher models.
		The EMD 645-series diesel engine had a deeper crankcase and oil pan than the SW1200's EMD 567-series engine.
