How Can You Tell If A Locomotive Is EMD?
The EMD units have smoothly rounded fuel tanks and many have air reservoirs tucked in along the tank top just below the running boards. Most of the GE fuel tanks have a boxy shape with straight upper sides and the lower third angled in toward the flat bottom.
EMD currently maintains major facilities in McCook, Illinois, and Muncie, Indiana in the United States, Sete Lagoas, Brazil and San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The company operated a manufacturing facility in London, Ontario, Canada until its closure in 2012.

How can you tell the difference between an EMD and a GE locomotive?
Trucks differantiate a loco from another maker as well. EMD trucks are distinctly different from GE trucks. GE trucks on late model units use a large cast frame, with twin springs for each axle. EMD trucks do not sport the springs as visibly as the GE units' do.
