The EMD E5 was a 2,000-horsepower (1,500 kW), A1A-A1A passenger train-hauling diesel locomotive manufactured by Electro-Motive Corporation, and its corporate successor, General Motors' Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of La Grange, Illinois, and produced exclusively for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (“The Burlington Route”), and its subsidiaries, during 1940 and 1941. The E5 was distinguished from the otherwise very similar E3, E4 and E6 by being clad in polished stainless steel to match the Burlington's Zephyr trains. Like those other models, the E5 had a sloping “slant nose” equipped with two headlights — a regular stationary headlight and a gyrating signal light. The E5 was the sixth model in a long line of passenger diesels of similar design known as EMD E-units.
The E5 used twin 12 cylinder 567 engines developing a total of 2,000 hp (1,500 kW) at 800 rpm. Designed specifically for railroad locomotives, this supercharged 2 stroke 45 degree V type, with an 8 1⁄2 in (216 mm) bore by 10 in (254 mm) stroke giving 567 cubic inches (9,290 cm3; 9.29 L) displacement per cylinder, remained in production until 1966. Two D.C. generators, one per engine, provide power to four motors, two on each truck, in an A1A-A1A arrangement. This truck design was used on all E units and on MP 7100 and CB&Q 9908 power cars. EMC/EMD has built all of its major components since 1939.
[Chester Bennington]
Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall
[Busta Rhymes:]
See ah niggas i survived the worst but my life is glorious
Betta know that i leaped every hurdle and i'm so victorious
Take a look, I'm a symbol of greatness now call a nigga Morpheus
As force securing the win and I believe I'm so notorious
You know that I've been buying my bread even though we rapping now (yes)
We use to live on the strip and you see a nigga higher level tramping now
Superceded everyone of my middle struggles and
Failure never ever has been an option
A nigga paper long like we was on the trap and we bout ta take the hood shoppin'
Get it!
[Chorus: Chester Bennington] (Busta Rhymes) *Mike Shinoda*
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon)
Forever we waited (haha!)
And they told us we were never going to get it
but we took it on the road (to the riches)
on the road (to the ghetto)
on the roooooad (in the projects to this bangin instrumental)
on the road (ride with me) *yeah, yeah*
on the road (you come and get it) *yeah, yeah*
on the roooooooad *yeah, yeah, yeah, yo!*
[Mike Shinoda:]
When it all got started we was steadily just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothing we could do would ever get us respected
At best we were stressed and the worst they probably said we're pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle just no way to connect it
And I was fighting through every rhyme tightening up every line
Never resting the question if I was out of my mind
And it finally came time to do it or let it die
So put the chips on the table and told 'em to let it ride
Sing it!
[Chorus: Chester Bennington] (Busta Rhymes)
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon)
Forever we waited (haha!)
And they told us we were never going to get it
but we took it on the road (to the riches)
on the road (to the ghetto)
on the roooooad (in the projects to this bangin instrumental)
on the road (ride with me)
on the road (you come and get it)
on the roooooooad
[Busta Rhymes:]
Look in case you misunderstand exactly what I'm building
Shit that I could leave for my children (children) children (children)
Now I only wake up with a smile to see how far I've come
Fighting for sales on a strip to get the hustle from
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son
To counting money like Dre and Jimmy or Russell One
But now I live what I dream you see we finally did it
Let's make a toast to the hustle regardless how you did it
Sing it
[Chorus: Chester Bennington] (Busta Rhymes)
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon)
Forever we waited (haha!)
And they told us we were never going to get it
but we took it on the road (to the riches)
on the road (to the ghetto)
on the roooooad (in the projects to this bangin instrumental)
on the road (ride with me)
on the road (you come and get it)
