The EMD SW600 is a diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between February 1954 and January 1962. It shared the same carbody design as EMD's more powerful SW900 and SW1200 models but only generated 600 horsepower, and replaced the SW1 in EMD's catalogue^[1]. Power was provided by an EMD 567C 6-cylinder engine, which generated 600 horsepower (450 kW).^[2]

15 examples of this model were built for American railroads and industrials.
