Locomotive Phases - GMD GP35
These phases are of my own making. While GMD Phase 1a units shared the same spotting features as EMD Phase 1a1 units, GMD GP35 production did not change at the same pace. Later units tended to retain details consistent with older EMD GP35 phases. All GMD production featured vertical steps, a cab-mounted bell, square sand hatches and Pyle National headlights, with the front headlight in the short hood and the rear headlight vertically mounted.
