Patrick Caauwe	General	1705 is a GP11	12/13/2007 4:54:14 PM

Jamison Amis	General	Very cool catch! The CSX GP11 units don't show up often.	1/9/2008 5:17:45 PM

William Grimes	General	This is CRR version of a GP16, not GP11. This is how you can tell a difference between the IGC GP11 and the CRR GP16 (which this is); the evidence in is the short hood. On CRR's GP16 the whole cab is moved forward a few feet giving it a "short snoot" type nose. If my description is confusing just look at the two closely for a while.	7/6/2008 4:40:28 PM

William Grimes	General	also date is wrong	7/6/2008 8:16:31 PM

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 12:46:08 PM

Joe Callen	General	Looks like a GP16 to me. Short hood anyone?	10/5/2009 2:28:14 AM

Forrest Farthing	General	I think this is a GP11 because of the angled cab, though there might be a possibility that I might be wrong...	11/6/2009 10:28:05 AM

Forrest Farthing	General	At least the front one...	11/6/2009 10:28:49 AM
