Bob,

 

Thanks for that link.  According to the info presented these units were available as early as 1942, almost a decade before the "Q" began purchasing its GP's.

Dave,

 

Here is a link for the HotStart layover heating system used by BNSF et al.

I hope this helps.

Can anyone help me to understand the function of the "overnight heaters" located on the fireman's side of the cab, long hood end, on "Q" GP 7's and GP 9's?  Is it to keep the diesel fuel from turning to gel during the extremely cold weather?   If so, does the diesel fuel circulate through the heater box to keep from turning to gel?  I've had no luck finding information on-line.

 

Thanks,  Dave Sarther      Tucson, AZ
