EMD SW é uma família de locomotivas de manobra produzidas pela Electro-Motive Diesel, com sua produção se iniciando em 1935 e sendo encerrada em 1960, sendo utilizadas também no Brasil.
SW1200 A EMD SW1200 é uma locomotiva diesel-elétrica construída pela General Motors Electro-Motive Division A unidade é equpiada por um motor primário EMD 12-567C, produzindo 1200hp (890 kW).
Foram Fabricadas pela EMD Norte Americana: (Ver detalhes na Tabela) 737 para as ferrovias Norte Americanas 287 para as ferrovias Canadenses 4 para ferrovia Brasileira (Estrada de Ferro Amapá)
Estrada de Ferro Amapá As quatro unidades nacionais foram destinadas a Estrada de Ferro Amapá, em bitola standard (1435mm) e truques AAR. Sendo as três primeiras entregues em Janeiro de 1954 e a quarta em maio de 1966. Foram numeradas de #1 a 4, sendo entregues com uma pintura Amarela e Vermelha.

SW1500 no Brasil Para o Brasil apenas uma unidade foi comprada, pela Estrada de Ferro Amapá em Outubro de1971. Sua fabricação foi feita em La Grange, Illinois na planta americana da EMD, chegando ainda nesse mesmo ano ao Brasil. Possui número de fabricação #38826 e foi numerada pela E.F.Amapá como #5.
Situação Atual Estrada de Ferro Amapá Com o fim do minério de manganês Serra do Navio a ferrovia foi devolvida ao estado do Amapá, que a operou até 2007. Em 2007 o empresário Eike Batista através da MMX comprou a concessão da E.F.Amapá. Hoje essas maquinas pertencem ao estado do Amapá, e estão sendo operadas por uma concessão a MMX. Recentemente com a compra de sete GE C30-7 de segunda mão do México, essas maquinas (SW1200 e SW1500) passaram a ter menor importância para a E.F.Amapá, entretanto, foram as principais e únicas locomotivas daquela ferrovia por décadas.
Mundo A maioria das SW 1200 e SW1500 já foram aposentadas e cortadas ou preservadas em museus pelo mundo. Foram substituídas pelas EMD MP15 ou mesmo deixaram de existir sem substitutas, em ferrovias que com o uso de Hump Yard's cortaram significativamente a demanda por manobras.
