EMD GP9 Diesel Locomotive - Classic American Rail Power #3583373 (License: Personal Use)

This image shows a General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) GP9 diesel-electric locomotive, recognizable by its distinctive hood unit design, long cab roof, and four-axle truck configuration. The locomotive features a vibrant red upper body, black lower body with gold pinstriping, and reflective hazard stripes on the front nose-typical of mid-20th-century U.S. railroad aesthetics. Built between 1954 and 1959, the GP9 was one of the most successful road-switcher models in American rail history.
