The EMD SD24 is a six-axle diesel-electric locomotive of 2,400 horsepower built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division at La Grange, Illinois from July 1958 to March 1963. It was the first EMD production locomotive built with an EMD turbocharged diesel engine, sixteen months before the four-axle GP20, and its output was 33 percent higher than the Roots-blown SD18. A total of 224 units were built for United States customers, 179 with cabs and 45 cabless B units for Union Pacific. Sales were only moderate, but the SD24 was a milestone in EMD locomotive development and forerunner of today's high-powered six-axle locomotives.
