Overview of the EMD GP35

The EMD GP35 is a versatile diesel locomotive that has served numerous North American railways since its production between 1963 and 1966.

With its reliable EMD 16-567D3A prime mover delivering 1900 kW of power, and standard 1435 mm gauge, the GP35 has been a workhorse for freight operations.
