In the early days of the GP-20's, EMD "remanufactured" FT's into GP-20's. What it really meant was that the railroads traded FT's in on GP-20's and EMD in turned used components of the FT's on the new units thus the fiction that they rebuilt FT's. I think there may have been a tax angle too. So in that sense, there are still a few "FT's" running around!

It was 5 Q units and 5 GN units. Some of the GN units started out as FT units from what I've seen. Bryan J.

Maybe I was wrong. I will keep my freedom, my guns, and my religion, you can keep the "change". __._,_.___
