Electro-Motive Division, recognized by its EMD and EMDX reporting marks, was founded in the 1920s as a manufacturer of diesel-electric locomotives, revolutionizing railroading with innovative locomotive designs that helped drive the transition away from steam power across North America. EMD locomotives for sale often include iconic diesel models used in freight service, passenger operations, and heavy-haul railroading throughout the twentieth century.
Collectors and model railroaders continue to seek out EMD train models inspired by famous locomotive series such as the GP, SD, and E units that became staples of modern rail transportation. These railroad models remain a popular addition to model trains focused on diesel-era operations, freight railroads, and classic American locomotive power.
