Kato 373022 EMD GP35 Phase Ia Diesel Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe no. 3305
The EMD GP35 is a 4-axle diesel locomotive, manufactured between 1963 and
1965. More than 1200 locomotives were built for US, Canadian and Mexican
railroads in those brief years, as many railroads were upgrading from older
EMD F units or Alco locomotives. Originally designed for General Purpose
(hence, GP) mainline duties, over the long lifespan of these locomotives they
saw service in everything from mainline operation to switching and branchline
service.
There were numerous phase variations of the GP35, each with minor spotting
differences such as number and locations of hood latches and louvers, as well
as differences between fuel tank frames.
