Kenny Ravenscroft General That's some power on the head of that train!! 3/18/2006 12:28:01 AM
Mike Woodruff General Indeed! Actually the middle unit (GP40X 9005) is the rarest of the three, only 23 were built (6 for UP) vs. 47 Centennials. 3/18/2006 8:07:18 AM
Michael Cassidy General Cool. 3/24/2006 1:57:19 AM
Tony Fernandez General Concerning the GP40X series, with the exception of the #9000 (original numbering) delivered to the UP in Jul 1978, #9001 - 9005 arrived in Feb/Mar 1978. Interestingly, #9003 - 9005 originally had the same gear ratio (59:18) as the Centennials and "Fast-Forties." 3/10/2008 2:11:52 PM
