LN GP38 #4016 - Louisville & Nashville |
| Description: |
Barely a month after delivery, this GP38 unit is taking a spin on the turntable in a New Orleans yard. Eventually, the loco transitioned through several rosters. I believe it's currently GMTX 2642 and last spotted in 2017 in the RRPA data base. Joe Brockmeyer photo |

LN demo |
| Description: |
Fred Ziebe took this photo of a new EMD GP38-2 at the EMD 50th Anniversary Open House in September of 1972. Later it appears that he marked it "L&N" but I haven't been able to track down which one it was. At that time EMD was cranking out many GP38-2's and appropriate to have one on hand. Does anyone know the road name and number of this displayed GP38-2? |

LN GP38-2 #6019 - Louisville & Nashville |
| Description: |
In the 60s EMD identified the need for a medium-horsepower roadswitcher with no turbocharger for improved reliability. With the rack settings on its 16-cylinder 645 prime mover set at a very conservative 2,000 horsepower, tried-and-true traction motors and other components, the GP38 was designed for reliability in all kinds of service. The locomotive sold well, but the addition of easy-to-maintain modular electronics made its successor the GP38-2 the runaway favorite with 2,188 locos sold. D. Land photo |
