After the success of the BLII because it solved many of the vision problems of earlier units and still could pull, unlike a switch engine. It however could not be moved during the manufacturing process it had to built form the ground up in one place, this was time consuming and expensive. EMD called on the recently retired *** Dilworth to redesign the locomotive, his design was the ever-popular GP-7.

what's the difference between guessing correctly and giving the answer away? [:)]
Giving a lot of details and stating it as a matter of fact, instead of just saying what you think/know to be the correct answer.

ok then, I say it's GP7, and you spelled Dilworth wrong [:D]

As a matter of fact, I'll say GP-7 is what I think/know to be the correct answer. But, just to make sure, I won't give away a lot of details-just point out that a lot of times I don't know what I'm talking about.[;)]
