The EMC E4 was a , A1A-A1A passenger train-hauling diesel locomotive built by the Electro-Motive Corporation of La Grange, Illinois. All were built for the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The E4 was the fifth model in a long line of passenger diesels of similar design known as EMD E-units. The was achieved with two EMC model 567 V12 engines developing , each engine driving its own electrical generator to power the traction motors. The front noses of the E1, E3, E4, E5, and E6 cab units had a pronounced slant when viewed from the side. Therefore, these five models have been nicknamed "slant nose" units. Later E-unit models received the same blunted "bulldog nose" as the F-units. Ironically, the E4 was produced before the E3. Both models were identical, save for the E4 having a pneumatically-operated nose door passageway in order to facilitate crew movement between units in a locomotive consist. All the E4s were retired and scrapped by 1964. == Original owners == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「EMC E4」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
