William Grimes General This is not a turbo charged GP20, It's a GP7u, maybe ex-ATSF. 6/1/2008 7:37:18 AM
Switchman Images General Where is this unit kept? What do they serve in the immediate area? First I've heard of this operation. 8/5/2008 2:33:31 PM
Timothy Courtney General Unit spends its time in Ottumwa. Works Ottumwa to Burlington... I think 3/16/2009 11:01:30 AM
Switchman Images General Is this in the northwest part of the BNSF yard? What exactly do they do here, and which direction does the engine face? I can't believe they'd be allowed to run on BNSF rails to Burlington, Tim. 3/29/2009 8:42:35 PM
Timothy Courtney General I'm not for certain, however i think they do some sort of local service to supplement the bussiness they do in Burlington. I have seen this unit dragging a short train through Batavia, Iowa (between Burlington and Ottumwa). I'm not sure what kind of arrangement has been made. I'm not a RR employee, just a fan, so it is only a guess! 5/5/2009 1:49:30 PM
