The EMC E4 was a 2,000 horsepower A1A-A1A passenger diesel locomotive built by the Electro-Motive Corporation of La Grange, Illinois, from October 1938 to December 1939, all of it for the Seaboard Air Line Railway. It was the fifth model of the E-unit line and used two 1,000 horsepower EMC model 567 V12 engines, each driving its own generator. One of the slant-nose E-units, it was identical to the E3 except for a pneumatically operated nose door passageway that let crews move between units. All E4s were retired and scrapped by 1964, and none was preserved.
