 D&RGW F9 #5771, 1960. Note the carbody filter grille ahead of the front porthole, the only reliable distinguishing feature of an F9. The EMD F9 was a 1,750hp B-B freight-hauling diesel locomotive produced between January 1954 and April 1957 by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division. Final assembly was at GM-EMD's La Grange, Illinois plant. A total of 87 cab-equipped lead A units and 154 cabless booster B units were built. The F9 was the fifth model in GM-EMD's highly successful F-unit series of cab unit diesel locomotives.
