What are the trucks under GP-35 2666 in the 3rd photo? They don't look like the standard EMD truck. Date: 05/05/15 09:29 Re: Southern Rwy High Nose Geeps Author: HotWater knotch8 Wrote:

The Southern Railway traded in some Alco units, and specified the GP35s come with the remanufactured Alco trucks & GE traction motors. Some other railroads did that also. |
