Just saw a pic of a hi hood GP-38-2. It is a N S unit leading a train. The unit is # 5117. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NSReadingline/ I hope that if you are not a member of this group that you can still see the pic. Seeing this pic made me wonder how many hi hood units are still operating on Class 1 railroads? As a railfan I know that they still do operate on N S. I also know that some shortlines and regionals operate them. But I was curious how many are still in use on a Class 1 railroad? Have any of our current engineers in the forums operated one recently? If so, do you like to operate them? My guess is "No", because of safety reasons. But it would be interesting to know about them and maybe hear some stories from our current engineers about them.
