EMD SW8
Atlantic Coast Line No. 59
Perfect For Yard Or Industrial Work.
Introduced in 1950, the SW8 offered railroads and industry a rugged and reliable unit for switching jobs, replacing the last of steam or earlier diesel switchers still in service. Originally powered by the famed 800 horsepower 567B, by 1954, industry demand for a more powerful switcher led EMD to introduce the SW900, producing 100 additional horsepower with the 567C prime mover. Outwardly, these units (and the SW600 of which only 15 were built) were virtually identical. Although production ended in late 1965 with a combined total of 743 engines, these early switchers served railroads large and small well into the 80s, and some remain in industrial service today.
