GP15-1 SLSF 100 Here is a picture of the first GP15-1 into Ft. Smith, AR. Why in the name of Heaven did the Springfield shop boys send a brand new unit buried in a consist? Anyhow, here it is. Andre Ming Edit 2/17/2024: To answer Andre's question, the reason is simple and the move was deliberate. The other units had dynamic brakes. Placing a dynamic brake equipped unit in the lead permitted the crew to take advantage of this braking method on the units so equipped. The GP15-1 did not have dynamic brakes. As a result, it did not have engineer controls for dynamic brakes. Placing it in the lead would negate using the dynamic brakes on all the other units so equipped in the consist. MKD
