The EMD 567 is a diesel engine family produced by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division from 1938 into the 1960s, named for the displacement in cubic inches of each cylinder. Built in configurations from six to twenty cylinders, it powered a large share of the diesel locomotives that displaced steam traction on American railroads at midcentury.
