Cowl units, originally produced at the request of the Santa Fe, had a full-width 'cowl' body built on a hood unit frame which provided all the structural strength; the bodywork was cosmetic, rather than a load-bearing bridge truss frame as in cab units.
In addition to the more common models noted above, EMD built several motorized railcars, integrated streamliner trainsets, and experimental locomotives at the beginning of the streamline era in the late 1930s.
The vast majority were EMD engines and components inside a carbody built by another manufacturer, since EMD did not have the ability to build their own bodies until 1936.
