Kato N Scale
EMD E9 A-Unit Locomotive
Prototype Information
The E8/9 diesel locomotive shared the similar "Bulldog Nose" carbody style as the shorter, more popular F7 and was powered by two separate 12-cylinder prime movers (i.e., diesel engines) capable of producing 2250/2400 hp. The E8/9 also rode on A-1-A trucks (powered axle-idler axle-powered axle), resulting in an exceptionally smooth ride favored by crews. The E8/9 was produced in both A-units and cabless B-units. The A-units were usually built to railroad specification of either single or dual headlight and freight or passenger pilot. Like the F3 and F7 of the same time period, the E8/9 was utilized in both passenger and freight service.
