EMD SD9

The EMD SD9 six-axle diesel locomotive was the successor to the SD7 in EMD's catalog, developed alongside its 4-axle counterpart, the EMD GP9. The SD9 utilized a 16-567C prime mover generating 1,750 hp. It was relatively popular, with 171 units for US railroads, and 44 for export. 
These engines were built in 1954 by Electro-Motive Diesel.
==Trivia==
* BNSF rosters several SD9s, with lowered hoods used for switching.
* NS used to own four Algers, Winslow and Western SD9s which were former Central of Georgia units. The four NS SD9s have since been sold.
* Some of the late production models had two 48-inch cooling fans like the SD18 and SD24 instead of four 36-inch cooling fans.
* Some are still in service to this day.
