The EMD SW1001 is a 1,000 horsepower diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between September 1968 and June 1986, with 230 constructed, mainly for North American railroads and industrial operations. It was developed because the taller SW1000 proved unpopular with industrial railroads, whose facilities were designed around earlier, lower EMD switchers. In essence it placed the hood and powertrain of the SW1000 on the underframe and cab of the earlier SW1200. It was also exported, including 28 to the Korean National Railway and 18 to Moroccan railways as type DI 500.
