The second
in our in-depth
new series about
vintage diesels!
|
CLASSIC TRAINS Magazine brings you the compelling story of "everyman's locomotive," General Motors' "Geeps." Conceived in the late 1940's as a simple branchliine engine, the Geep road-switcher proved itself in all types of railroad service, from mainline freight and passenger trains to switching service. Join us as we follow the development of the Geep, from the first GP7s in 1949 to the last units built, the 1,800 horsepower GP18s.
Classic Trains has also done a companion book: GM's Geeps, The General Purpose Diesels
