The EsPee acquired a fleet of 195 GP60's assigned either SP or SSW reporting marks. Only the first 20, SP 9600-SP 9619 were delivered as SP units with the classic "Railroad Roman" font. The 9620-9714 were delivered as Cotton Belt units and the 9715-9794 would be delivered in variations of the SP Rio Grande inspired "Speed Lettering" paint scheme. Here we see a solid consist of the early SP GP60 variant leading the westbound APL stack train on the NS New Orleans Terminal at Shrewsbury Road near New Orleans, LA. |
