Unbuilt: Electro Motive Diesel (EMD)

Over the years, many engine types have come and gone with great fame or faded into obscurity. But the least known of them all are those that never left the drawing board, as this brand new original series will cover the various proposed, canceled and never built engines of a manufacturer, as well as to why they never came to be. To start off this series, might as well cover one of the greatest locomotive manufacturers of all time, whose reliable products can still be seen all across the world: EMD. Even this legend in locomotive building has seen a handful of unbuilt designs that were either small modifications to existing designs, or megaprojects that would've changed the face of railroading as a whole.
