EMD SD45

The “Hustle Muscle.” Built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division, the SD45 measured 65 feet in length, and had 3,600 horsepower, powered by the 20 cylinder EMD 645E3 prime mover. In total, 1,260 SD45s were built, the first production SD45 delivered being Great Northern 400. Although powerful, the SD45 had a few reliability problems, such as teething issues, and risked crankshaft failure, despite its prime mover coming from the extremely reliable SD40.

Main variants:
SD45
SD45-2
SD45T-2
SD45X
SDP45
F45
FP45
The EMD SD45 is the ultimate Hustle Muscle!

The first EMD SD45, GN 400, is preserved and still in operation today!

EMD 645

A big, greasy beast of an engine Built by Electro-Motive Division (EMD) now called Electro-motive Diesel, the 645 is the iron heart of classic American freight and passenger locomotives. Even Boats uses it. Known for shaking the earth, waking the dead, and running forever. Comes in various models like V12, V16, or even turbocharged – because more cylinders = more badassery.

EMD

You dirty minded people. EMD doesn’t mean “eAt mY dIcK”. it means ELECTRO-MOTIVE DIESEL. A brand that makes diesel-electric locomotives, locomotive products, and diesel engines used in the rail industry. Originally founded in 1922 as Electro-Motive Engineering Corporation, it was acquired by General Motors in 1930 and became GM's Electro-Motive Division. In 2005, GM sold it to Greenbriar Equity Group and Berkshire Partners, and by 2010 it was bought by Progress Rail, a subsidiary of Caterpillar. EMD is known for producing some of the most iconic locomotives in the world, including the famous F-series and SD-series engines.
The FL-9, GP38, SD60F, F40PH & F59PHI are examples of locomotives built by EMD
