WP GP35 3004 was involved in a side swipe accident somewhere on the WP, and hos found it's way to the WP's Sacramento Jeffrey Shops for evaluation and repair. Once repaired, the unit will emerge with a new EMD cab without the iconic WP "Golden Glow" reflector headlight, and will sport a standard twin sealed beam headlight and will be repainted into WP's new corporate color of Pearlman Green.
