GP30 Upgraded
GRLW GP30u 4204 leads Z590 past Miliken Road on their way out of town during a fall downpour. 4204 is Ex ATSF 2751, a member of their early 80s GP30u rebuild program. The 30u program involved replacing the 567 prime mover with a 645, boosting the horsepower from 2,250 to 2,500. Other upgrades included replacing the traction motors, adding a rooftop A/C Unit, and others. Somewhere around 80 of these rebuilds were done by the ATSF at Cleburne, and two of them ended up with the GRLW from LTEX. The other unit, 4203, is still in an extremely worn down version of its ATSF freightbonnet scheme and almost never runs. Ironically, 4203 is actually the better pulling motor compared to 4204 but due to how horrid it looks, GRLWs owner hates using it (paint is expensive.)
