This is one of only three remaining GP40P-2's! Three of these units were delivered to Southern Pacific for use in the San Francisco area. The extended section at the back contained a steam generator. Of course, that equipment has long since been removed, but the unusual body still exists. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The UP steam guys did a fantastic job getting her ready to hit the rails again. The engine is leading the greatest show on earth (the circus train) and is about to pass underneath E-470 south of Brighton.
