Type of Engine Series (i.e. 645, 710)

[Anonymous]

hey, does anbody have a locomotive list (i.e. GP7,GP50, SD40) with the type of engine series (i.e.645, 710 series engine)?
if you came to look at my Q was aready answered.

There are some good rules of thumb to use determining the engine type of EMD locomotives.

If the model number is under 9 for an E, F, GP or SD it has a 567B or earlier engine.

Between 9 and 35 for those models, it has a 567C or 567D engine.

Above 35 but less than 49, it has a 645E or 645E3 engine.

Locomotives with model numbers 49 and 50 have 645F engines.

Locomotives with model numbers 59 to 80 have 710G engines.

Locomotives with model numbers 89 and 90 should have 265H engines, but many were built with 710 G engines.

So, to quote some examples

F7 = 16-567B engine

GP9 = 16-567C engine

SD18 = 16-567C engine

GP28 = 16-567C engine

SDP35 = 16-567D3 engine

GP38 = 16-645E engine

GP39 = 12-645E3 engine

SD40-2 = 16-645E3 engine

GP49 = 12-645F3 engine

SD50 = 16-645F3 engiine

GP60 = 16-710G3 engine

SD70MAC = 16-710G3B engine

SD80 = 20-710G3 engine

SD90MAC = 16-710G3B engine (exception, "convertible" loco)

SD90MAC (H) = 16-265H engine

If you can remember this, it makes things easy!
