William Grimes General This IS not a GP11 Jim! 10/19/2008 9:18:28 PM
j johnson General it is a geep 11. i worked at ic paducah shops in the late 70s and 80s. we rebuilt a few gp11s for crr back then 11/2/2008 2:33:26 AM
j johnson General we also rebuilt some for other railroads. not just 11s. mainly 10s 11/2/2008 2:36:25 AM
j johnson General the easiest way to tell a paducah rebuild is look at the sills under the hand rails. if it is cut down like that, its most likely to be a paducah rebuild or one from our rebuld shops in illinois 11/2/2008 2:42:27 AM
Jim Bruce General Unit IS a GP11.This Clinchfield GP11 rebuild was one outsourced to the ICG/PNC shop at Paducah, KY and is an Illinois Central Gulf Paducah Shops rebuild. ICG designated these as GP11 locomotives. ICG Paducah-rebuilt GP11 locomotives were numbered in the 8700-series. Clinchfield Railroad also had 6 of these GP11 locomotives. These were also built by ICG-Paducah, and are betrayed by the shortened nose (to accomodate a new electrical cabinet behind the cab,) spartan cab and the primary air filtration system, which is mounted atop the hood behind the forward radiator section. The GP16 is a product of Seaboard System and Family Lines' own Geep rebuild progam, with units dubbed Uceta Geeps, because of the shop that did the work, followed, and these encompassed core units from most of the Family Lines component roads. 11/24/2008 12:52:33 PM
