Jim Bruce General 2641 is a GP30R. Unit was Wrecked in 1965 and as GP35s were still being made it was given a GP35 Carbody. This unit also went on to be painted for NS and was Retired in september 1991 and sold to RJ. Cormans in 1992. Its now on Public Display in TN. Unit was one of 2 GP30Rs on SOU, the other was 2526. Here is 2526 in NS paint:http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3023152. 6/17/2012 3:45:49 PM
Chuck Zeiler General Thanks Jim. After I posted the photo, I looked up 2641 on The Unofficial EMD Home Page. It is listed as a GP30 (c/n 28596) and GP35 (c/n 31215). I gave it c/n 31215 because the Home Page shows it also as NS 2641 and RJCR 3501. I will defer to your judgement as to which construction number to use. It must have been wrecked pretty badly to get two numbers by the builder. Or it was just a replacement. 6/17/2012 9:22:12 PM
Henry Lombard-Hughes General Nice shot. 4/7/2021 9:28:01 PM
