This GP38-2 (2,000 hp) is equipped for Donner Pass snow fighting service. The special equipment includes icicle "antlers" (breaker bars), all-weather windows, screen over the windshield, horn heater, and snow shield over the inertial air intake grilles. SP also equipped these units with trucks (wheelsets) from older 4-axle locomotives to increase the number of brake shoes. During the summer months, the snow fighting units work local train assignments out of Roseville Yard. Photo by Paul W. DeRouen image/jpeg, 640x480 (24bit) UP_600.jpg 78023 bytes |
