WOW!  Type in the locos name on Google and see what links come up including  Wikipedia.   Loco history and other interesting facts.  Example, try " EMD  SD24"

Googling anything is a great idea, using information from Wikipedia is not. Since anyone can offer information, or even do editing, you may not always find Wikipedia to be correct. Use it only as a starting point.

Wikipedia is also okay if you know a fair amount about the subject so you can check the article for accuracy.
