MP GP18 1861         
Missouri Pacific 1861 was built in 1960 as the 4808, one of 24 GP18's constructed using components from the railroad's two dozen FT units as trade-in credit. These 24 units wjre built with high noses, and this one subsequently received a factory low nose and, like most MP geeps, a 4-stack exhaust manifold. The 4808 was subsequently renumbered 512 and then 1861. It was retired in April 1984 and sold to Precisign National Corp. The photo was taken at Race Street Yard in New Orleans.
