retiredate=unknownThe EMD AA was a diesel locomotive type built exclusively for the Missouri Pacific Railroad by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division and delivered in August of 1940. Only one example was produced, numbered #7100. MP 7100 was built for service with the "Delta Eagle" passenger train, which ran between Memphis, Tennessee and Tallulah, Louisiana.

Since the small two-car train the unit would have to haul was comparatively lightweight, the AA was built with only one 1,000 hp EMD 567 V12 prime mover, and a baggage compartment was located where the second engine would have been.
