The EMD F3 is a 1,500-horsepower (1,100 kW) B-B freight- and passenger-hauling diesel locomotive produced between July 1945 and February 1949 by General Motors‘ Electro-Motive Division. Final assembly was at GM-EMD’s La Grange, Illinois plant. A total of 1,111 cab-equipped lead A units and 696 cabless booster B units were built. The F3 essentially differed from the

Many F7’s were rebuilt, some into modernized cab units for commuter agencies (Boston and Maryland), or hood units (Santa Fe’s famous CF7 fleet), or “power cars” for the opposite end of commuter trains (Long Island, GO Transit). Some survived as “executive” units for business trains (North Western and Clinchfield-cum-CSX). The EMD F7 is the quintessential classic post-World War 2 American train industry diesel-electric locomotive built to the tune of some 3,856 total units from the period spanning February 1949 to December 1953, continuing the line of successful F-Unit locos manufactured by EMD.

The EMC E1 was an early passenger-train diesel locomotive developing 1,800 hp, with an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement, and manufactured by Electro-Motive Corporation of La Grange, Illinois. They were built during 1937 and 1938 for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway for a new generation of diesel -powered streamlined trains. 8 cab-equipped lead A units and three In the case of the E6 fourteen different Class Is picked up the locomotives, for use on their most prestigious passenger trains with the Atlantic Coast Line purchasing the most.

After passenger trains were canceled on the Erie Lackawanna in 1970, the E8s were re-geared for freight and were very reliable for the EL. These units were on freight trains until the early years of Consolidated Railroad Corporation („Conrail“). Units noted with the designation E8m were rebuilt using components from earlier EMC/EMD locomotives.

Compared with passenger locomotives made later by EMD, the noses of the E3, E4, E5, and E6 cab units had pronounced slants when viewed from the side. Therefore, these four models have been nicknamed „slant nose“ units. Like the F3 and F7 of the same time period, the E8 and E9 were utilized in both passenger and freight service. Model Information: The Kato EMD E8 and E9 locomotive both come in A and B (cabless) variations, similar to that of their smaller F unit sister locomotives.

In his book, “ Electro-Motive E-Units and F-Units: The Illustrated History of North America’s Favorite Locomotives,“ author Brian Solomon notes the public’s growing disinterest in rail travel, coupled with most railroads having already dieselized their top passenger trains by that time, was the reason behind the lower sales.
