An EMD GP59 is a 4-axle diesel locomotive model built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between 1985 and 1989. Power was provided by a 12-cylinder EMD 710G3A diesel engine, which could produce 3,000 horsepower. This locomotive shared the same common frame with the EMD GP60, giving it an overall length of 59 feet 9 inches. It featured a 3,700 gallon fuel tank. 36 examples of this locomotive were built, all of which were eventually acquired by Norfolk Southern.
