| EMD SW-1 Diesel Switcher - The birth of the SW1 in January 1939 was a historic moment for the Electro-Motive Corporation. The tiny switcher ("S" for six hundred horsepower, "W" for welded frame) was EMC's first truly mass-produced loco, the first with Electro-Motive's own electrical gear, and the first mass-produced engine powered by the 567 diesel motor - which would become the backbone of first-generation American diesel power. continue reading |

Southern Pacific E-8 Diesel Passenger Set - The earliest E-units were each virtually custom-made, with less than 20 units produced of models EA through E5.
