The EMD SW9 is a 1,200 horsepower diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between November 1950 and December 1953, with more built by General Motors Diesel in London, Ontario from December 1950 to March 1953. An EMD 567B 12-cylinder engine powered it, replacing the 567A of its predecessor the SW7, and it lacked the SW7's upper hood vents. Builders delivered 786 to American railroads and 29 to Canadian railroads, plus ten TR5 cow-calf sets. In 1994 Amtrak had nine SW9 locomotives rebuilt by the National Railway Equipment Company as SW1000R units. The SW1200 succeeded it.
