Discover the beauty and power of America's most famous locomotive builder

From 1922 to today, EMD diesels have ruled the rails, hauling untold numbers of freight and passengers across America and around the world. Now TRAINS Magazine brings you the best of these powerful locomotives from the files of the award-winning TRAINS On Location video series.

Features:

• Big Bruisers - These monstrous, high horsepower diesels spanned from 1972 to the present. Included are Tiger Paw SD40-2s, massive SD50s and SD60s, comfort cab GP60Ms, and one of EMD's newest, Conrail's SD80MACs.

• Die Hard Diesels - These enduring locomotives that never say die include classic GP7s and 9s, modified units on Conrail and Wisconsin Central, burly Burlington Northern SD9s, and second generation survivors from Santa Fe GP20s to Wisconsin Central SD45s.

• Thorughbreds - Built for speed, these beauties include classy E-units from Burlington Northern and Conrail, F40s from Amtrak, VIA Rail and Caltrain, Metra's unique F40PH-M “Winnebagos”, Amtrak F59s from California, and MARC's kit-bashed GP39PHs on Amtrak's busy Northeast Corridor.

• Switch Hitters - These gutty switch engines include an SW1200 taking care of business in Chicago, GP15s on the scenic California Northern, and remote-control steel mill switchers in northern Indiana.

Directed by Paul D. Schneider and narrated by Kevin P. Keele, Editor of Trains Magazine.
