Here are four more pics from my "Enid" negative collection. These are four good roster shots of the GP38-2's in the early SLSF 400-478 series, two of each side.
GP38-2's can be identified easily vs their earlier GP38 brothers by three quick spotting features:
- the oval sight glass window on the right side hood back ahead of the radiators (a feature common to all "dash twos" (-2's), as in GP38-2, SD40-2, etc)
- the two radiator cooling fans mounted very close together, while on the GP38 there is a large space between them
- different Blomberg truck details (on all but the early GP38-2's), a different spring arrangement and a buffer (looks like a shock absorber) mounted on one end of each truck axle.
