A
BRIEF HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF THIS MODEL
EMD
built the E-Units between 1937 through 1963. Originally the name E unit
referred to the fact that these units boasted of eighteen hundred
horsepower. This designation remained throughout the E unit production
even though later models incorporated higher horsepower ratings. Due to
the technology of the time, E units like many locomotives used multiple
units to achieve the required power. EMD offered cabled units called B
or booster units. Some railroads ordered AB, ABB or ABA units depending
on power needs.E6s were manufactured by EMD in La Grange, Illinois,
between the years 1939 and 1941. To achieve 2,000 horsepower, EMD
combined two 1,000 horsepower, 12 cylinder, model 567 engines inside of
the engine compartment.
