	Marine Diesel Engine, Marine Diesel, Diesel Marine Motor, Yanmar Marine Diesel Engine, Volvo Penta Marine Diesel Engine
		General Engine Products (GEP) a subsidiary of Am General Corporation was born out of the need to improve the durability of, and sustain the production of a 6.5L diesel engine for military and commercial use.
		General Motors, opting for an Isuzu engine for certain vehicle lines, chose to support the transfer of their 6.5L production knowledge and technology to General Engine Products, Inc. The current home for the 6.5L engine (the Moraine Engine Plant) was scheduled to close in the latter part of the 2000 calendar year.
		The General Motors 6.2L and 6.5L diesels were never intended to be high performance diesel engines and therefore would never have been capable of supporting the rigorous marine duty cycles achieved with today’s Optimizer 6500 engines.

	GMDD Bus Deliveries
		The following pages list the 6,541 buses deliveries from General Motors Diesel Division when the bus assembly line was located in London, Ontario (1962 to 1978).
		Commencing September 1980, regulations required a 17-digit VIN (vehicle identification number) which tells (when decoded) the country and date of manufacture; make, model and serial number; assembly plant and even some equipment spcifications.
		From then until GMDD sold its bus manufacuturing business to MCI (Motor Coach Industries) in August 1987, all buses were in a unified serial number sequence.

	Algoma Central Railway Equipment Guide - Diesel Locomotives
		In 1950 the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors sent their F7 demonstrator set to Canada, and an F7A and F7B were tested on the Algoma Central.
		After the CN rebuilds, it was decided that it was no longer economically feasible to keep rebuilding the GP7's, so the railway acquired GP38-2 units for the passenger trains and by the end of the 1980's, all of the un-rebuilt GP7's had been sold or scrapped, as well as the ACR's two GP9's.
		Built by GMDD in 1971, these 3000-hp units were capable of hauling more tons of cargo in a shorter time than the older GP7 and GP9 units, despite a 35-mph speed limit.

	General Motors Electro-Motive Division
		General Electric is the largest, overtaking EMD in the mid-1980s, and between them they have built the overwhelming majority of the locomotives in service in North America and a large proportion of those in the rest of the world as well.
		In 1930, General Motors, seeing the opportunity to develop the diesel engine purchased the Winton Engine Company, and after checking the Winton Engine Companys books, decided to purchase its chief customer "Electro Motive Company" which was a rail based company.
		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.

		This A-B set of General Motors Diesel Division "F" units hauled the crack CPR passenger trains of the 1950's and `60's.
		A dual service unit, No. 4459 was purchased with a steam generator so it could be used in passenger as well as freight service.
		It was achieved by the higher speeds of the diesels, less locomotive servicing enroute and the elimination of the need for "helper" engines in the Rockies.
