EMD E8

EMD E8

The Famous E8
Built-in 1948, this locomotive is one of the most famous of all. After the success of the E7, this triple-axle passenger unit was the epitome of sleek, stylish, and progressive. (If you ask me, still is)

These were used in regular service all the way up into the 90s by major commuter railroads, and Amtrak (a 40-year lifespan in regular service is pretty darn good if you ask me).

Features:
