The EMD SD35 is a model of 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1964 and January 1966. Power was provided by an EMD 567D3A, 16-cylinder engine which generated 2500 bhp. A 3000 USgal fuel tank was used on this unit. This locomotive model shared a common frame with the EMD SD28, giving it an overall length of 60 ft. 360 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads.
