NOTE

GP35s 210 - 214 were ordered as GP30s but were delivered as GP35s.  They are among the earliest GP35s built and a few of their specs differ from conventional GP35s, being throwbacks to GP30s.  An interesting thing about these units is that their serial numbers are in the latter part of the GP30 number series with other GP30s after them...but by the time they were built EMD had switched to GP35s.
