description

During the late 1960’s, UP modified some of their GP9 fleet with large snow plows from retired steam locomotives. UP called these “Pilot Snow Plows” but because of where they served, railfans simply referred to these as Branchline Plows. To combat areas with high snow fall during winter months, UP would run these GP9’s to help clear out snow on some of their branch lines where lighter weight power was needed.

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

In 1949, EMD introduced the GP7. The basic design followed most diesel switchers with the addition of a short hood instead of an end-cab. The hoods were also full height to better accommodate the diesel engine and mechanical and electrical components.

In 1954 EMD upgraded the GP7 to become the 1,750 horsepower GP9. Externally, the first GP9s were virtually unchanged from the last GP7s. Later versions would include different louver arrangements and the last ones would come without the frame skirting. The GP9 was available with all of the fuel tank, steam generator, and dynamic brake options as the GP7, including “torpedo tube” air tanks mounted on the roof.

Many railroads chose to rebuild their GP7s and GP9s for continued service. Often times, it was cheaper to do this rather than purchasing brand-new locomotives.
