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.

 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.

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.

 GP38AC
GP38AC 313 has the old style Blomberg-B truck side frames; the Blomberg-M side frames which come with the Athearn model were discarded in favor of the prototypically accurate B-types (also a standard Athearn item).
For the GP38AC, the hoods are sawed from both Atlas and Athearn shells as pictured in the accompanying drawing.
Lehigh Valley GP38AC and GP38-2 locomotives have relatively small fuel tanks in comparison to those of many GP and SD locomotives -understandable considering their normally aspirated 2000-horsepower engines compared to the turbocharged high-horsepower prime movers of the 40's and 45's.

MKT 34 was re-engined by EMD in December 1959 from original its original 1,200 horsepower Baldwin engine to an EMD 12 cylinder 1,200 horsepower 567C engine9, using a new EMD long hood; completed on 13 December 1959.
All units were re-engined by EMD in September and October 1959, using new EMD 16-567C engines and new EMD GP9-style car bodies, with dynamic braking, retaining the units' original Alco frames, cabs, and short hoods.
MKT 182-193 were returned to owner/lessor, EMD, after lease expired on 31 December 1989; all 12 units were rebuilt by VMV in early 1990 (including adding dynamic braking), repainted to EMD blue and white scheme and used as part of EMD's nationwide lease fleet as EML 182-193.

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.
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.
One EMD unit that was exported that you missed Mark, is the SDP38, an SD38 with a steam generator.

The main difference between the GP38-2 and the GP38 is that the Dash 2 uses modular electronics.
