The FT introduced EMD's iconic bulldog nose to the world, adesign that would carry over onto thousands of E- and F-series locomotives,as well as others worldwide. Although demonstrators were built in 1939, thefirst FTs for a customer were built for Santa Fe at the end of 1940 andearly 1941. Additional units were delivered to US railroads across thecountry until production ended in 1945. During its production life 555 FTA-units were built along with 541 FT B-units, with many lasting in serviceinto the 1960s. Equipped with EMD s 567 prime mover, each single unit wasrated at 1,350 horsepower. Most ran as semi-permanently coupled 2,700horsepower A+B sets, but some roads (like the Santa Fe) had couplersinstalled on both ends of all units for maximum flexibility.

During its production life 555 FTA-units were built along with 541 FT B-units, with many lasting in serviceinto the 1960s. Equipped with EMD s 567 prime mover, each single unit wasrated at 1,350 horsepower. Most ran as semi-permanently coupled 2,700horsepower A+B sets, but some roads (like the Santa Fe) had couplersinstalled on both ends of all units for maximum flexibility. Like manylocomotives, the FT fleet underwent numerous modifications and rebuildsduring its service life. Many road-specific changes would appear, includingchanges to number boards, pilots, cooling systems The Rapido model featuresprototypically accurate details with correct class detailing,roadname-specific detailing, roadname-specific body style, etched-metalgrilles and details, full multi-colored cab interior, directionalheadlights and working ditch and coupler or drawbar couplers between A andB units. Both A and B units are powered. The smooth-running drive featuresa five-pole motor with dual flywheels, backed up with the MoPower capacitorsystem for uninterrupted operation.
