P Kapcar General No, the unit has a bent frame because of an head on switching accident at Loudon, Tenn. 12/16/2007 9:46:27 PM

Ron Moraca General Kevin, the odds are that this unit was sent to the Juniata Locomotive Shops at Altoona, PA, where it would be derated to 2,500hp and turned into a GP38-3. 8/4/2008 11:18:19 PM
