Information provided by BLI:
Most of the premier passenger trains including the AT&SF "Super Chief - " various CB&Q "Zephyrs - " Great Northern's "Empire Builder - " New York Central's "Twentieth Century" and Pennsylvania Railroad's "Broadway Limited" were pulled by EMD "E" unit diesel locomotives from the 1940's to the 1970's. The E3's were introduced in 1939 and became the first "standard" road diesel locomotive that could be ordered off-the-shelf. The E6's were essentially the same locomotives as the E3's and differed little in appearance. Broadway Limited is releasing a variety of the shovel-nosed E6's used to pull so many popular passenger trains. Each model will be equipped with our Paragon2 DC/DCC Sound & Control system.

The E8's are 2250 HP passenger train locomotives manufactured by General Motors Electro Motor Division in La Grange - Illinois. Between 1949 and 1953 - EMD produced 421 E8A units and 39 B units. In the E9's - they increased their horsepower to 2400. In appearance - the E8's and E9's are nearly identical. Most railroads purchasing E7's also purchased E8's. Toward the end of their service - E8's and E9's were used for commuter and even freight service.

Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it - and - while we are waiting for the order
it sells - you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders - the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So - as we spell out on our terms
pages - we don’t do it anymore. You may - however - call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone.
