EMD G22C Series

The EMD G22 Series were first introduced in 1968 to replace the popular G12 along with various improvements. They carried a low per axle weight on their Flexicoil Type-GC trucks and were the first model series to have a low nose as a standard option as well. The G22 series now carried a U or W suffix after the model designation to indicate the type of traction motors. A C indicated six axle trucks, while a 4 indicated A-1-A- trucks; although there never has been an indication of four axle A-1-A trucks until 1993.
