Chessie,
that would have to be one of the most comprehensive lists I've seen. i'm interested to see how many members find anymore locomotives, it will also be interesting to see how many members have a different idea of all EMD locomotives :D

The Soo Line wrecked a GP9 and rebuilt it with body parts from a GP35. I don't know if it was ever official but it was know as the GP22 ((GP9 + GP35) / 2 = GP22)

You missed SD26 for starters, and I've seen GP10s too (Paducah-rebuilt 9s). Forgot the DDA40X, the DD35 and the DDA35. SDL39, FP10, GP40TC, GP38AC, SD50F. I think you should put an "R" after GP7 and GP9, Guilford runs them.

Also, can you show me a picture of any of the following:

F1,4,5,6,8 (A or B)
E1,4,5 (A or B)

I think these units were "skipped" in production, but existed in design only. There is a logical progression from 1 to 9, but they didn't produce them that way.

Also, have not seen an "SD44" on anybody's roster. If you're referring to the MK rebuilds from SP SD45s for the SP, they were re-classed as SD40M-2s.

As far as I know, there was no F1 (though I think the FT was sometimes referred to as the F1),4,6, or 8. However, late F3's were sometimes called F5's. The E1 (http://www.railfan.net/railpix/ABPR/january01/01-01-01/4SantaFe.jpg)'s were owned by the Santa Fe. I think the B&O units were EA/EB (http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/tr_bo51.jpg)'s. The E4's were owned by SAL. The only difference between an E3 and an E4 is the E4 had a tilt out nose door. The E5 (http://www.trainpage.com/tCa-Cm/images/cb&q9950atcolo_springsc.jpg)'s were owned by the Burlington. They had stainless steel sides and fluting along the bottom panels. They also had smaller side windows to allow room for a letterboard below the intake grills. Internally, they were identical to E3/4's.

The SD44 (http://espee.railfan.net/spsd44r.html) (there was only one) was an SD45 rebuilt by the SP in 1981 with a 16-cylinder engine. A lot of work had to be done to mount the smaller engine, so SP decided to just derate the 20-cylinder engines instead.

This thread may be refering to currently active engines only, but if not ....

Don't forget UP's M-10000, B&M's 6000, and the early Zephyrs (pre-E5's), just to name a few of the early EMC/EMD "experiments".

Oh man that crazy, How could I forget the DDs, and SD50/60F
:rolleyes:

The F6/F8 where rebuilds but I dont remeber by who (panducha?)
The F4 was just a mistake on my part, Got comfused with the E4 because I added those last (even though there in the beganing and middle of the list) I also am not entirely sure that theres a FP7B/FP9B can somebody check this for me? And finnally theres a SD40G, and SD50-3M that I forgot to add.

Hey dont forget that Alco also made STEAM locos. :D Care to revise the list?? :D http://www.harrythecat.com/graphics/k/train3.gif

March 22nd, 2001, 07:45 PM
Weren't the four Alco PAs rebuilt for the D&H classified as PA-4s. Also don't forget M-Ks entry into new locomotive building, the three MK5000s.
If you take more than one of the letters listed next to the SD40 then I guess you can come up with my favorite beast, the SDP40F.

The PA are on the Alco/GE list I made and I dint include the MK5000 because they were a totally new engine (no componets from other units) And would have to be classifyed under a list of MK built-new locomotives since they share no parts with EMD units (or GE or ALCO for that matter.. unless you include the modifyed Defco trucks)

Also who changed the topic name

there was a GE/ALCO list
and a EMD list

Having American and Canadian adds confusion

I also want to add the Mexican G12 while were in G mode

Y'all seem to have completely forgotten about pre=World War II Diesels such as ALCO's HH660, which was owned by quite a few railroads. Baldwin also produced many switchers prior to the VO1000. :cool:

Well, there's already a topic for Alco/MLW's and GE's (http://www.trainboard.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=56&t=000215). This one started out as EMC/EMD/GMD. But you guys are right. There's also Baldwin, Lima-Hamilton (and Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton ;)), Fairbanks-Morse/CLC, Bombardier and Morrison-Knudson. Not to mention the one-hit (or should that be miss?) wonders: Krauss-Maffei and Ingalls Shipbuilding. And industrial/mining locomotive builders too numerous to mention.

From MLW there is also the M420W, I think only M420 has been said. There is also the M420B. There are still alot of M420Ws in service through out Canada (However, most are Manitoba west).

SD89MAC???


The SD89MAC was a unit they have been developing for some time, it is essentially a SD9043MAC that looks like a SD90MAC-HII, and runs like an SD80, if I remember correctly. CPR was looking at purchasing these units but decided to purchase 50 more AC4400CW units, good grief!

Happy Railroading!

Chessie_SD50_8563
July 7th, 2001, 08:11 AM
due to the oragously large mass confusuion out there about what a SD89MAC is I will explan

the SD89MAC (name not offical yet) is a 4500HP SD90MAC-HII that uses a 12 cyl 265H as its prime mover. Its still technically in its R&D stage and wont demo till later this year. Its builders plate says SD90MAC but in fact it is not. The name is still up in the air. Names that are in consideration are

SD89MAC
SD85MAC
SD90MAC/4500 (what EMD is temperaly calling it)

Also even though the unit ran around on CP for quite some time. CP was NOT demoing the unit.
