Chicago Central GP20 has a bit more history. Built as Milwaukee Road GP9 2398, then renumbered 248. Rebuilt to GP20 966 by the Milwaukee in September of 1972. Date: 02/22/21 18:52 Re: More Various Interesting Road Power Author: krm152 Chicago Centrall #966 looks like it has been to hell and back.

Santa Fe had taken back some of the 300-class F-units leased to Amtrak and replaced them with F45's and FP45's in early 1973. The cowls hung around until the first order of SDP40F's showed up in June. Then, for a short time as the new units were breaking-in, photos like this of trains with three different types of EMD cowls on the point were possible. The cover of Electro-Motive Division's Classic Cowl Units has another such view: http://fourwayswest.com/books/electro-motive-divisions-classic-cowl-units/ Date: 03/05/21 12:58 Re: More Various Interesting Road Power Author: Gonut1 Quite the jump frog in that last shot!
