SOUTHERN PACIFIC #9914 NON-POWERED Sept

 

In 1963, the 5000 h.p., 88-foot DD 35 by GM's Electro Motive Division was completed. This mammoth "double diesel" represented a significant turning point in railroading history as many railroads shifted out of the turbine era and committed more fully, to a modern age of diesel- electrics. Initially a demonstration train unit of two GP35 and two DD 35 engines toured the country on the rails, decorated in an eye-catching red and white scheme. Both Southern Pacific and Union Pacific purchased a number of the massive engines, and at Union Pacific's request, EMD redesigned the engine a s a DD 35A complete with a cab and a narrow nose at the front. Joining the prototypical Union Pacific DD 35A, new DD 35A roadnames are being offered now added to the roster, realistically decorated in"what-if" schemes which show off in spectacular fashion how classic railroad decoration might have looked on this special diesel.
