The 1930s were an interesting time for American railroads. It was a time full of surprises, streamlining, and general innovations. Notably, the diesel-electric locomotive was starting to do its rounds on a select few American railroads. However, these early diesels were still relatively unproven, and typically relegated to yard or industrial switching. However, this soon changed with the advent of the diesel streamliner. In 1934, Union Pacific's M-10000 and the Chicago Burlington & Quincy's Pioneer Zephyr streamlined train-sets were some of the first examples. They were rather popular and appeared quite modern and futuristic. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had been testing diesels on passenger service in the meantime and was looking to innovate diesel locomotive technology. This came in the form of Electro-Motive Corporations EA locomotive. It had a striking appearance like no other locomotive of its time. Though, the EMC EA did more than just look flashy, in this video I explain how the EA came to not only innovate locomotive technology of the time, but how it left an impact that still affects locomotive construction in the modern day.
