History:
The E8's are 2250 HP passenger train locomotives manufactured by
General Motors Electro Motor Division in La Grange, Illinois.
Between 1949 and 1953, EMD produced 421 E8A units and 39 B
units. In the E9's, they increased their horsepower to
2400. In appearance, the E8's and E9's are nearly
identical. Most railroads purchasing E7's also purchased
E8's. Toward the end of their service, E8's and E9's were
used for commuter and even freight service.
