The EMD E6 was a 2,000
hp,
A1A-A1A, passenger train
locomotive manufactured by
General Motors'
Electro-Motive Division of
La Grange, Illinois. The
cab version, or E6A, was manufactured from November,
1939 to September,
1942, and 92 were produced. The
booster version, or E6B, was manufactured from April,
1940 to February, 1942, and 26 were produced. The 2,000 hp was achieved by putting two 1,000 hp, 12 cylinder, model 567 engines in the engine compartment. Each engine drove its own
electrical generator to power the
traction motors. The E6 was the seventh model in a long line of passenger diesels of similar design known as
EMD E-units.
