Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The GMD GMDH-1 was an experimental diesel-hydraulic switching locomotive built by General Motors Diesel of Canada. Four examples were built. It was a double-ended, center-cab design. The first two locomotives were each fitted with a pair of 6-cylinder Detroit Diesel series 110 engines giving 600 horsepower (450 kW), while the second pair had two series 71 engines developing 800 hp (600 kW). The first constructed, in December 1956, was serial #A1597, numbered GMDD 1001. It became the GMD London, Ontario plant switcher in April 1958, and was retired in November 1975.
