	EMD SDP40F at AllExperts
		An EMD SDP40F is a 6-axle diesel locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division beginning in 1973 for Amtrak service.
		Power was provided by an EMD 645E3 16-cylinder diesel prime mover, which generated 3000 tractive horsepower (2.2 MW).
		In an unusual move for modern railroading, 18 were traded by Amtrak to the Santa Fe Railroad in 1984 to be reconditioned for use as freight locomotives, in exchange for 43 smaller locomotives for use by Amtrak as yard switchers.

		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.
		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.

		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 louver groups covering the carbody filters.
		EMD used no such identification, and instead kept track of the marketing name (F7) and individual locomotives' build numbers.

		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.

		The EMD DD35A was a 5,000 hp (3,700 kW) diesel locomotive of D-D wheel arrangement built by General Motors ' Electro-Motive Division exclusively for the Union Pacific Railroad.
		Like its cabless predecessor, the DD35A was essentially two EMD GP35 locomotives on a common frame, riding on a pair of 4-axle Flexicoil trucks.
		Another difference was that the DD35A was fitted with the new flared radiator section EMD was testing on its EMD 645 -engined demonstrators (the prototype SD40 demonstrators).

	O EMD E9 History
		While many E9 locomotives were built new, a number were constructed from trade in components of pre-war EMD passenger locomotives which had reached the end of their economic life.
		Had EMD and the owning railroads realized this, it is possible that many would not have been constructed.
		EMD E-units were the locomotives used to power the most advanced streamlined trains of the 1938-1963 era, and as the high point of the design, the E9 models were the "best of the best" to many.

		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.

		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.

	ATSF SDF40-2 - History
		The specifications given to EMD were to produce a locomotive similar in outward appearance to the FP45, however would have the interior components of the SD40-2.
		After only eight years of service on Amtrak, most of the SDP40F locomotives were traded back to EMD to have their components installed into new F40PH locomotives, and the remaining units were reduced to meaningless assignments on Amtrak maintenance of way trains.
		This time, new sloping steps, similar to standard EMD locomotives, were added, and a "notch" added in each side of the nose for safer and more convenient locomotive access by train crews.

	Santa Fe SDF40-2's
		Designed and built by EMD between June 1973 and August 1974, the 150 SDP40F's were intended to replace the rag-tag assortment of none-too-healthy E and F units the passenger carrier had acquired from the freight railroads in 1971.
		The locomotive was considerably longer than an SD40-2 (72 feet 4 inches versus 68 feet 10 inches) due to a large steam generator section at the rear of the carbody that held a pair of skid-mounted steam generators.
		Carbody aside, an SDP40F is essentially an SD40-2, the most popular freight locomotive ever built in the US, and in fact the SDP40F's had been built with the idea that if Amtrak failed, the locomotives could be sold to freight railroads.

		The gear ratio of the traction motors to wheel axle determines the maximum operating speed of the locomotive; a standard F40PH has a gear ratio of 57:20 which provides a top speed of 103 mph (166 km/h).
		Introduction of the F40PH series was spurred as a replacement for the EMD SDP40F type, Amtrak's first series of locomotives built new for them since inception in 1971.
		This led to the introduction of the F40PH, based on the proven EMD GP40 series freight locomotives using a two axle truck of known reliability.

		The EMD DDA40X was a 6600 horsepower (4.9 MW) D-D diesel locomotive built by General Motors ' Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois for the Union Pacific Railroad.
		The locomotive frame length required exceeded the abilities of EMD's plant, so the frames were fabricated by an outside contractor, the John Mohr Company of Chicago.
		For the first time, the locomotive was able to load-test itself, using its dynamic braking resistors as an electrical load so that external equipment was not required.
