Description
Between 1964 and 1966, EMD built a total of 360 six-axle 2,500hp SD35
locomotives. An additional 35 steam generator-equipped SDP35 locomotives were
also built during this period. These were all part of EMDs 35-Series which
also featured the four-axle, 2,250hp GP35 locomotive. All locomotives included
the standard EMD 567-series prime mover. A stock model weighed 360,000 pounds,
but many roads chose to add weight to increase the locomotives tractive effort.
From the mid-1960s through the 1980s, the SD-35 could be found in road service
on both large and mid-sized roads across the US. Today the number of active
units has dwindled to a select few, including those operated by regional
railroad Montana Rail Link.
