Sorry to say, but this loco, CR 5432, is not a GP8, but rather a SD-50, now NS(PRR) 5432, ex CR 6755. Notice the 6 axel trucks.

Mr. Tucker: I can't say about the 2 books you mentiones. I know Kalmbach Publishing had a book out called Train Spotters Guide, and some updated versions. One of the things that helped me knowing different types, is that I spent 42 years as a clerk starting on the NKP and retired from the NS some 2 1/2 years ago. That gave me plenty of time to record any information from plates and markings that were on the frames, etc. I sometimes had engineers ask me where certain things were on some engines, as I was sort of a "railfan" myself. Every once in a while you may run into a railroader that may be pleased to give you some info on the locomotive, you may be taking a picture of, if it is standing still. But be shure to be careful around any eguipment , as it may move without any warning. Also, with security tight, it may be hard to take some pictures in the various yards, without proper permission, unless from public property. Even that may be a challenge. Welcome to the hobby, of t
