The EMD SW900 is a diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division and General Motors Diesel between December 1953 and March 1969. Built alongside the SW1200, the eight-cylinder SW900 had a single exhaust stack and replaced the SW8, with an EMD 567C 8-cylinder engine generating 900 horsepower. Total production was 371 units, of which 260 went to American railroads and 97 to Canadian railroads, plus export units for mining companies in Venezuela, Peru and Liberia. Some were built with generators from traded-in Winton-engined switchers and were classified SW900M.
