Prototype: EMD GP35

The EMD GP35 was a four-axle diesel-electric locomotive produced during the mid-1960s. More than 1,300 examples were produced for U.S. railroads, with additional locomotives constructed for Canadian and Mexican operators. Powered by EMD's 16-cylinder 567D3A prime mover, the GP35 developed approximately 2,500 horsepower and became part of diesel fleets across numerous major North American railroads.
