Preserved EMC Railcars

At one time, the Electro Motive Corporation (EMC) built dozens of diesel and gas-electric powered railcars for railroads all across the United States and Canada. These cars, affectionally known as "Doodleburgs" (or "Dollies" if you were from the Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Railroad), were intended to replace locomotive hauled passenger trains on branchlines. The first of these cars appeared sometimes around the 1910s. They were mostly if not all rated below 1,000 horsepower. They were never intended to haul long trains. Most would run solo, or occasionally haul an extra passenger car or one or two freight cars.
By the 1950s, with a few exceptions like the Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy, most of the EMC Doodlebugs had been retired and were either sold off for scrap or sold to shortlines where they carried on for a few more years. Others were demotorized and converted into conventional passenger cars. Still others were purchased by Sperry Rail Services and converted into track inspection cars, which came complete with simple living quarters so that the crews could stay on board the car. Sadly, only a few cars have been preserved. All of the cars on this list were either built by EMC or at the very least had an EMC prime mover in them at some point. (PRR 4666 and 4662 are not on this list because they were not built by EMC, they were built by Brill and their internal components came from GE)

There are or were a few cars where preservation attempts were made but ultimately fell apart for one reason another. Others were not preserved, but found other uses or some how survived into the later half of the 20th century, albeit not always in one piece.
