[1] One, 426, was purchased by the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad and is on display at Steamtown National Historic Site in Lackawanna colors.
They were delivered to a wide assortment of railroads: One SC locomotive still survives: Missouri Pacific 9001 (as Dardanelle & Russellville 14, a later owner) at the Illinois Railway Museum it is not operational.
While it now has an EMD 567C block, it retains its EMC electrical system and early lifting hood vents.
Missouri Pacific #5 survives and operates as Thermal Belt Railway #1, repowered with a 600 hp (450 kW) Cummins diesel.
The 900 hp (670 kW) V12 Winton 201-A-engined NC and NW series locomotives can be distinguished from the less powerful 600 hp (450 kW) SC and SW because, although the underframes are identical, the hood on the N series is longer, leaving only a small amount of room before the front walkway.
The first three were built as EMC S/N 725-727 for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway as their #2350-2352, later renumbered #2400-2402 and rebuilt into SW1200s in 1959.
The NW1 was the only 201-A-engined N series locomotive model to be ordered in any significant number; 27 were built between November 1937 and January 1939.
Owning railroads were: The NW1A, of which only 3 were built, was equipped with EMC-built traction motors, although the generator was still a General Electric unit.
The NW4, of which two examples were built for the Missouri Pacific Railroad, used the hood and cab configuration of the regular N-series, but with an additional straight section between cab and hood, mounted on a lengthened frame with large air tanks on the front platform, in front of the radiator.
The additional hood section contained a steam generator; the NW4 was the first switcher so equipped, for switching passenger cars.
The locomotives ran on AAR type B trucks re-used from EMC boxcab demonstrators #511 and 512.
[4] The solitary EMC transfer locomotive classified T was built in May 1936 for the Illinois Central Railroad as their No.
The locomotive's main underframe sagged over time, and was returned to EMD for straightening and gusseting for extra strength.
