Andrew Sax General What the hell is that? 4/23/2006 3:43:23 PM
Zach Pumphery General Looks to me like a train. No, seriously, I think that's a GP20. 4/23/2006 10:33:43 PM
John Burgersmith General It is a former Great Northern GP20. 4/26/2006 9:18:25 PM
John Burgersmith General Only the GN ones had the airtank arrangment like this. All others had the air tanks like the UP unit does, underneath the walkway. GN also had 5 steps in the step wells, also were the only high nose GP20s as were the UP ones. GN ones were set to run long hood forward, so we are looking at the rear of the unit. 4/26/2006 9:21:11 PM
John Burgersmith General Typo correction. ..."UP ones" should read "WP ones". 4/26/2006 9:22:47 PM
