RS/GP Length

What is the length (prototypical or model) of an RS-2,RS-3 diesel compared to a GP-7 or GP-9? (anyone know of a website with diesel charts perhaps?)

Re: RS/GP Length

A GP7 or 9 has truck centers of 31 ft and length over couplers of 55 ft 11". 

An RS2 or 3 has truck centers of 30 ft and length over couplers of 55 ft 11 3/4".

I saw 56 ft 2 in listed as length of the GP's, from the 7 up to the GP30. RS's are the same length.
