I looked after a series of photos of Santa Fe GP30, GP35 and GP38 engines in the times frame 1970 - 1979.
None of the GP30 and GP35 had a snow plow while the most GP38 had one. Most photos have been shot at the same prominent locations in the south west. The engines have been used in regular freight overland freight service (no switching in sunny SoCal). I think the higher elevated areas of the south west have lots of snow in the winter.
How come the GP30 and GP35 had no snow plow installed while most GP38 had serving the same locations on the photos?
