Built by General Motors Diesel in October 1966 for GO Transit, which is Toronto, Ontario Canada's commuter rail system and originally numbered 500. It would be renumbered 9800 and 600 before being purchased by Amtrak in October 1988 and being renumbered 192. Renumbered to 520 in 2001 as Amtrak has a GE P42DC that now has the number 192. Rebuilt by Norfolk Southern Railway at Altoona, PA in October 2004 and is now designated as a GP38H-3. Historical information about this locomotive provided by www.amtrakbythenumbers.com. |
