The EMD FP9 is an American 1,750 horsepower B-B dual-service passenger and freight diesel locomotive produced between February 1954 and December 1959 by General Motors Electro-Motive Division and General Motors Diesel. It was essentially EMD's F9 extended by four feet for greater steam generator and water capacity for passenger trains. EMD built 86 cab-equipped A units and sold no cabless B units, and the two largest buyers were Canadian National with 43 and Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico with 25. Four units delivered to the Chicago and North Western were rebuilt from traded-in FT locomotives and designated FP9M.
