| Prototype Information — |
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EMD E-units were a line of passenger train diesel locomotives
built by the General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) and
its predecessor the Electro-Motive Corporation (EMC). Final
assembly for all E-units was in La Grange, Illinois. Production
ran from May, 1937, to December, 1963. The name E-units refers
to the model numbers given to each successive type, which all
began with E. The E originally stood for eighteen hundred horsepower
(1300 kW), the power output of the earliest model, but the letter
was kept for later models of far higher power ratings.
Like many early passenger locomotives, E-units
used two engines to achieve the rated power. This was
due to the technology of the time limiting the power that
could be developed by a single engine. Even so, while
E-units were used singly for shorter trains, longer trains
needed multiple locomotive units; many railroads used
triple units. E-units could be purchased either with or
without driving cabs; units with a cab are called A units
or lead units, while cabless units are called B units
or booster units. B units did contain simple controls
for hostling purposes, but they could not be so controlled
on the main line. The locomotive units were linked together
with MU cables which enabled the crew in the lead unit
at the front to control the trailing units. Railroads
tended to buy either ABA sets (two driving cab-equipped
units facing in opposite directions with a booster in
between) or ABB sets (a single driving cab with a pair
of boosters). The former did not need to be turned to
pull in either direction, but B units were cheaper than
A units and they made for a smoother line to the train.
E8 - 421 A units and 39 B units built.
E9 - 100 A units and 44 B units built.
