| Notes: | |
A |
Units 1212 and 1213 are also remote control platforms, and have no cabs. They also differ from conventional GG locomotives in having a very GP9-looking nose. The 1212 and 1213 have a cab-like enclosure housing the electrical cabinet, and supporting the remote antenna and strobe lights, with a very rounded profile similar to the GP9’s original cab, but not nearly as long and without windows. There is even a small access door on the F side of the enclosure, and a forward-facing set of number boards. |

BNSF 1213 was converted using GP10 1406 (ex-BN 1406). From Extra 2200 South #128, page 7. |
