Cowl units, originally produced at the request of the Santa Fe, had a full-width 'cowl' body built on a hood unit frame which provided all the structural strength; the bodywork was cosmetic, rather than a load-bearing bridge truss frame as in cab units. Only 25 SD40-2Fs were produced, all for CP Rail; they were the last of the highly successful SD40 line. The SD50F and SD60F were built exclusively for Canadian National Railway. The F40PH was used extensively by Amtrak, practically becoming an icon of that railroad.

[edit] Streamlined power cars and early experimental locomotives

In addition to the more common models noted above, EMD built several motorized railcars, integrated streamliner trainsets, and experimental locomotives at the beginning of the streamline era in the late 1930s. Most of these were single-unit production runs that were used by one railroad and then scrapped. The vast majority were EMD engines and components inside a carbody built by another manufacturer, since EMD did not have the ability to build their own bodies until 1936.
