* May-8 new EMD locomotives There is no through link to Burkina Faso.

An emergency medical dispatcher is also called an EMD.

McCook is home to a large amount of heavy industry, including portions of Vulcan Materials Company McCook Quarry, UOP, and the Electro-Motive Diesel ( EMD ) railroad locomotive plant.

The LaGrange plant now manufactures locomotive parts only, but EMD is considering resuming locomotive production there, so that they can reenter the passenger locomotive business, as federal funding cannot be used to purchase foreign-built locomotives.

A six-axle diesel locomotive preserved on static display at the depot is the former Seaboard Air Line 1114, an EMD SDP35 ; one of only 35 ever built, it has been repainted into her original SAL scheme and numbered with her original number on " The Seaboard ", 1114.

For example, the 1960s vintage EMD SD45 diesel-electric locomotive is fitted with a 20-cylinder EMD 645E3 two-stroke engine.

It is also known as hexa histidine-tag, 6xHis-tag, and by the trademarked name His-tag ( registered by EMD Biosciences ).

Merck KGaA ( dba EMD Chemicals in the U. S. and Canada ) is a German chemical and pharmaceutical company.

* Northern Pacific 3617, an EMD SD45 built circa 1966 is currently in the process of being restored by the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth, Minnesota.

An EMD FP7-A, CGW 116-A, has been cosmetically restored and repainted, and is located at the former " Hub City " of the railroad at the Hub City Heritage Corporation museum in Oelwein ( http :// www. cgwo. org ).

The EMD FP45 is a cowl unit type of C-C diesel locomotive produced in the United States by General Motors Electro-Motive Division.

The last surviving EMD E5 diesel, named Silver Pilot, is owned and operated by the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois.

The GE Genesis series is unique among recently manufactured North American passenger locomotives in that, like the EMD F40PHM-2, it uses a single, monocoque carbody design, thus making it lighter, more aerodynamic, and more fuel efficient than its predecessors ( F40PH, F59PH, P30CH, P32-BWH ).

* The museum's newest locomotive, ATSF 98 is a 1967 EMD FP45 diesel locomotive.

The GM EMD F40PH is one of many cowl designs.

The EMD SD50F and SD60F, GE C40-8M and BBD HR-616 were given a Draper Taper ( named after its creator, William L. Draper, a former CN assistant chief of motive power ) where the body is narrower immediately behind the cab, and gradually widens further aft, although the roof remains full-width the length of the locomotive.

The train is normally operated in a push-pull configuration with an EMD F59PHI at one end, a 12 or 13 car Talgo-built trainset, and an unpowered EMD F40PH locomotive called a Non-Powered Control Unit ( NPCU ) on the other end used as a cab car.

Currently DLW is producing EMD GT46MAC and EMD GT46PAC locomotives under license from Electro-Motive Diesels ( formerly GM-EMD ) for Indian Railways.

All service on this line is diesel, using either GP40PH-2s built in 1968 for the Central Railroad of New Jersey or EMD F40PH locomotives.

The DVTs required modification to work with the Class 67, involving adding a notched power controller as is used in the locomotive and a 27 wire jumper cable as used on the GM EMD locomotives which is known as the AAR Multiple Working system.

CSX has also obtained a few EMD F40PHs that were retired from Amtrak service.

The trains are also usually handled by EMD GP40FH-2, GP40PH-2, F40PH-2CAT or Alstom PL42AC diesel locomotives, although any Metro-North or New Jersey Transit diesel can show up.

The Oelwein Shops also was busy maintaining the entire diesel switcher fleet of models from Alco, Baldwin and EMD.

Before 2012, Caltrain EMD F40PH and MPI MP36PH-3C locomotives have been used as substitutes engines, and entire Caltrain trainsets have also been seen during busy periods, such as the peak Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

EMD GP38-2 units were added in 1979 and 1980, and 5 EMD GP40-2 locomotives also delivered in 1980.

The F40PH series was originally intended to haul short to medium-length trains on Amtrak's shorter routes ; soon after it entered service it also began to replace the long-distance EMD SDP40F, Amtrak's first new locomotive model, which was under a cloud after a derailment or two and reports of rough riding.

The MBTA also has several aftermarket F40PH-2C & F40PHM-2C locomotives in service built by EMD in 1987-88 and MK in 1991 & 1993.

This arrangement also includes locomotives made of two permanently coupled B-B units, such as some EMD FT units which had a solid drawbar connecting two units instead of the typical couplers.

Locomotive performance was also enhanced with a rebuilding program of its EMD GP9s.

It would also roster its first EMD GP7s when it obtained full ownership of the Detroit and Toledo Shore Line in 1981.

Although originally promoted by EMD as a freight-hauling unit, the F7 was also used in passenger service hauling such trains as the Santa Fe's Super Chief and El Capitan.

This locomotive model is also built for export, and is still catalogued by EMD ( at 4300 hp ).

This deal also included buildings, rolling stock and locomotives, mostly rebuilt EMD SD9s, from the CNW.

EMD also tried offering a lower-power version of the SD90MAC with a 12-cylinder engine called the SD89MAC, but none were produced other than the prototype.

The Pacific Surfliner route also uses EMD F59PHIs but they are Amtrak-owned instead of state-owned.

Only two A units and one B unit were built, all for Union Pacific Railroad, which had also requested double-engined locomotives from EMD and GE in order to replace the turbines, which had become uneconomical to operate.

EMD responded throughout the SD50 program by offering discounts on large orders, this was also a response to the slow U. S. economy in the 1980s which cut locomotive orders.

The designation also applies to five locomotives built by EMD Australian licensee Clyde Engineering for Hamersley Iron.

It is also the First End-to-End EMD hauled Shatabdi and uses the First Chair Car LHB Rakes from LHB Factory Raebareli.

They are Southern Pacific 4449, a GS-4 steam locomotive which also served as the Bicentennial American Freedom Train engine from 1975 to 1976, and Southern Pacific 6051, an EMD E9 diesel locomotive.

There were also a number of European " bulldog nose " locomotive classes, all of which were built by NOHAB or AFB ( with license from EMD ), also frequently referred to as " round noses ".
