There is a great EMD 567 article by noted EMD Historian Preston Cook titled "The EMD 567 Engine in the 21st Century" at the Railway Preservation News Website at http://www.rypn.org/ Look in the Archives section for the article. --SSW9389 (talk) 18:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The EMD MRS-1s were rated at 1600 horsepower, see page EMD-131 of DSG2.--SSW9389 (talk) 18:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Union Pacific sent six GP9s and three GP9Bs back to EMD in March-May 1959 for uprating with turbochargers. These may have been the first 567D2 engines or a turbocharged 567C. The Don Strack Article on Utah Rails is not clear if these units were reengined. --SSW9389 (talk) 18:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The first 16V-567D3 engine was used in January 1958 as a peaker unit at the LaGrange plant of EMD. The first demonstrator SD24 #5579 was built by EMD in July 1958. See The GP20 and SD24 EMD's Turbocharged Duo by Diesel Era--SSW9389 (talk) 18:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The first 16V-567D3As were used in the EMD GP35 demonstrator #5652 of July 1963. Diesel data from A J Kristopans website--SSW9389 (talk) 18:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

There were five GMD built SW900s built past the end production date given in DSG2. The last SW900 was built in April 1969. I do not know if 567C or 567E blocks were used in these late SW900s. Diesel production data from A J Kristopans website. --SSW9389 (talk) 18:24, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
