The following is a list of locomotives produced by the Electro-Motive Corporation (EMC), and its successors General Motors Electro-Motive Division (GM-EMD) and Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD).
EMDs GP60 model was the last of a series of four-axle locomotives built with ever-increasing horsepower, designed to lead a railroad''s priority trains. Short, fast intermodal trains were perfect for a GP60s 3,800 horsepower V-16

The EMD SD70 is a series of diesel-electric locomotives produced by the US company Electro-Motive Diesel. This locomotive family is an extension and improvisation to the EMD SD60 series. Production commenced in late 1992 [page needed] and since then over 5,700 units have been produced; most of these are the SD70M, SD70MAC, and SD70ACe
EMD''s SD70-series is the longest-running locomotive series in railroading, spanning over three decades. There have been nine domestic new-build models. There are also many more export and remanufactured models that use the "70-series" designation.
Electro-Motive Diesel (reviated EMD) is a brand of diesel-electric locomotives, locomotive products and diesel engines for the rail industry. Formerly a division of General Motors, EMD has been owned by Progress Rail since 2010.
In doing so, and after listening to customer feedback, EMD offered many new features on the E7, including standardization of components that were interchangeable among multiple locomotive models. The E7''s internal components were more or less similar, or the same, to earlier models.
By the 1950s EMD was the unquestionable leader of diesel locomotive manufacturing, making up the vast majority of all diesel sales during that time. The company originally introduced a six-axle model of its popular GP series a few years after the GP7, in 1952.
B&O signed up for the first production models, designated EA for cabs and EB for boosters. Possessed of "the most famous face in dieseldom," the Electro-Motive E unit became the standard passenger locomotive of American railroading, and would be such for generations.
The EA (E, which stood for eighteen hundred horsepower) carried two 900-horsepower, 12-cylinder 201-A Winton engines and the first buyers of these test models were the Baltimore & Ohio and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroads (while mechanically the same the AT&SF''s units were classified as E1s).
