EMD F-units are a line of diesel-electric locomotives produced between November 1939 and November 1960 by General Motors Electro-Motive Division and General Motors-Diesel Division. Final assembly for all F-units was at the GM-EMD plant at La Grange, Illinois, and the GMDD plant in London, Ontario. They were sold to railroads throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico, and a few were exported to Saudi Arabia. The term F-unit refers to the model numbers given to each successive type (i.e. F3, F7, etc.), all of which began with the letter F. The F originally meant "fourteen", as in 1,400 horsepower (1,000 kW), not "freight". Longer EMD E-units for passenger service had twin 900-horsepower (670 kW) diesel engines (called "prime movers" in that type of application). The E meant "eighteen"

  • Als EMD F-Serie, englisch EMD F-unit oder F-series, wird eine Reihe von Diesellokomotiven des US-amerikanischen Lokomotivbauers General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) bezeichnet. Obwohl diese Maschinen ursprünglich als Güterzug-Lokomotiven gebaut wurden, entstanden in der Folge auch Ausführungen für den Personenzugdienst. 7592 Maschinen dieser Baureihe wurden von November 1939 bis November 1960 vor allem in den EMD-Werkhallen in La Grange, Illinois produziert. 2904 Exemplare wurden als führerstandslose B-Einheiten gebaut. Damit war diese Baureihe, neben der gleichzeitig angebotenen E -Serie, eine der ersten Großdiesellokomotiven, der ein längerfristiger kommerzieller Erfolg beschieden war. (de)
