GP40X

The EMD GP40X was an experimental type of four-axle diesel locomotive, which was part of EMD's development of their prime-movers to get more horsepower and newer technology into their range. It foretold of the GP50, SD50, GP60, and SD60, such as introducing microprocessor controls, digital speedometers, automatic fuel starters, as well as having a form of distributed power known as "locotrol," which involved the ability for multiple locomotives to be controlled at once from the lead unit via a remote-control radio system without the need of crew members activating or starting other units' motors or engines manually. Optional HT-B trucks were also produced for improved dynamic braking and suspension, yet they actually caused issues as opposed to improving them.

The EMD GP40X was an initial success, and led to the success and introduction of the GP50.

The EMD GP40X should not be confused with its original counter-part the GP40.

The main way of distinguishing it from other EMD four-axle diesel locomotives, is that it has flared radiators like the six-axle SD45 — however, the SD45 has three radiator grilles. Also some units, such as UP's, have HT-B trucks.
