Ron Moraca General Great photo, Mike! It looks like the die had already been cast for the C&EI's merger with the MoPac. 1/12/2009 4:44:01 PM
Scott Bruce General 308 has what looks like a factory low nose. To my knowledge, no GP7s were built that way. Is 308 really a GP9 or maybe got wrecked and rebuilt with a low nose by EMD? 7/27/2012 5:44:41 AM
Scott Bruce General Or is the middle post between the windows not visible in the picture? :D 7/27/2012 5:46:05 AM
