Bachmann's Geep

[FCIN]

Did the Southern have high hood Gp50's. It was somewhere near the time that EMD came out with the Gp50 that they announced that they would discontinue building diesels with high low hoods, I thought.

All of the Southern's GP-50's were high-hood, long hood forward. The Southern engineers called them "Cadillac's" because they rode so smooth and were quite powerful. Should note that the number series for the GP-50's were 7003-7091 with the three GP-40X units (predecessor's to the GP-50) holding the 7000-7002 spots on the roster. Look's like Bachmann missed on the number for their model.
