Body Style : Diesel Engine SD50. DCC Readiness : DC/DCC Dual Mode Detector.

Paint Color(s) : Gray and Scarlet with White-Speed Lettering. Prototype Era : Era V: Modern 1979 to Present. EMD introduced the SD-50 in the early 1980's. It had a 16 cylinder, 3500HP engine. It attained the power that they had earlier gotten from a 20 cylinder engine.

The 1st was built in January 1981 for KCS. It was designed to replace the SD-40-2 on a 2 for 3 basis. 421 standard units were built for 13 railroads.

The new, longer frame allowed the dynamic brake resistors to be relocated. They were moved to a cooler area on the train.

They are located between the central air intake and the cab. The SD-50 and SD-60 can be distinguished by the door panels.

The SD-50 features four latched doors in six door panels. The SD-60 has six latched doors in eight door panels. The "wide nose" or "safety cab" was 1st offered as an option to US railroads in 1988. Union Pacific received the first units in early 1989.

In 1991, the contour of the nose was changed slightly. It went from a 3-piece to 2-piece windshield.

Also, the nose was tapered to improve visibility for the crew. Burlington Northern was the first recipient of the revised model.
