Allen Jenkins General Fantastic rebuild, but not a GP16. It's a GP8 or GP10. 9/14/2011 1:20:11 PM
FTRL Fan General It was built as the CRR 908 and was a GP-7. After the Conrail merger, it became the CSX 1701. It was rebuilt and designated as a GP-16. The unit then passed from the CSX to the INRD and has most recently been acquired by FTRL. At least one other contributor claims the unit may even have been designated as a GP-11 for a time. I have no knowledge of that. So, I won't comment one way or the other. But, I do have a photo of the blue card, I'll add it to my album for review. 9/15/2011 4:28:38 AM
