Locomotive Phases - 4-axle EMD Locomotives
.
GP35
Phase 1a1:
7 latched hood doors, short central air intake, 6 louvers on battery
boxes, flat dustbin hatch (roof behind cab), flat panel under front headlight,
early (barred) radiator intakes, "fishbelly" frame
Phase 1a2:
3 latched hood doors
Phase 1b1:
Longer central air intake
Phase 1b2:
7 latched hood doors, bulge under front headlight
Phase 1b3:
2 louvers on left battery box
Phase 1c:
late (screened) radiator intakes, 2 louvers on both battery boxes (late
Phase 1c)
Phase 1d:
raised dustbin hatch
Phase 2a:
flat dustbin hatch, straight frame (see resulting differences under
"other details" below)
Phase 2b:
raised dustbin hatch
Phase 2c:
corrugated central air intake
Other details:
--The central
radiator fan (36") varies between a flat open-top and a round button-top
design.
--The change
from a fishbelly frame to a straight frame on Phase 2a GP35's caused several
visible differences, including a thinner side frame (especially above the
air reservoirs), a taller fuel tank, a marginally higher walkway and new
steps.
