The E8 is a 2,250-horsepower (1,678 kW), A1A-A1A passenger-train locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of La Grange, Illinois. A total of 450 cab versions, or E8As, were built from August 1949 to January 1954, 447 for the U.S. and 3 for Canada. 46 E8Bs were built from December 1949 to January 1954, all for the U.S. The 2,250 hp came from two 12 cylinder model 567B engines, each driving a generator to power the two traction motors on one truck. The E8 was the ninth model in the line of passenger diesels of similar design known as EMD E-units. Starting in September 1953, a total of 21 E8As were built which used either the 567BC or 567C engines.

  • E8型柴油机车是美国通用汽车电气动力分部(GM-EMD)于1940年代末推出的一款干线客运柴油机车,也是E7型柴油机车的后继车型。1949年8月至1954年1月之间,通用汽车电气动力分部共生产了496台E8型柴油机车,包括450台设有司机室的A节机车、46台没有司机室的B节机车,主要用户包括賓夕法尼亞鐵路、紐約中央鐵路、伯靈頓鐵路、联合太平洋铁路、芝加哥和西北鐵路、等铁路公司。此外,加拿大太平洋鐵路也购置了三台该型机车。 E8型柴油机车仍然沿用了E7型柴油机车的“斗牛犬”式车头,采用流线型外观的整体承载结构棚式车体,机车走行部为两台布贝格式三轴转向架。每节机车装用两台12气缸、1125马力的12-567B型二冲程柴油机。传动系统采用直—直流电传动,每台柴油机各自驱动一台D15A型直流发电机,发出的直流电供给同一转向架上的两台D27B型直流牵引电动机。值得注意的是,部分铁路公司的E8型柴油机车是利用原有的E1型、E2型、E3型或E7型柴油机车改造而成。 (zh)
