Pictures of EMD GPs

Here you can find pictures of various EMD GP 7 through GP 40 model engines. As has been thought GP stands for General Purpose. These locomotives were designed for the average work load of the average railroad and the horsepower increases as the model number goes up, but the number of axles is always 4.
