GENERAL MOTORS GP 7 Museum Of Transportation, Roanoke, VA; May 1997. One of the purest GP7 out there is safe in retirement.
Jacksonville, Fl; February 1998. Another lucky number is being well taken care of by the Jacksonville
Chapter of NHRS as demonstrated by the shiny paint job.
Holly Springs, MS; November 1998. SOU 8274 was not so lucky, as it got gutted for replacement parts by
the local short line.
Monroeville, Al; August 1998. Natchez Trace 8281, similar to 8274, was still operating on the beat-up
Alabama Railroad to Flomaton.
Kansas City, Mo; July 2000. Proven Y2K compatible and healthy on a major railroad...after a few
modifications including a spartan cab and an AC unit.
Dillsboro, Nc; July 1999. Some GP7s have found their way to excursion services. 711 is on the
Great Smokey Mountains Railroad.
Magnolia, Ar; December 1998. A couple of days after the Christmas break and after the mainline was
cleared up from the ice storm, L&NW 53 is back at work. The late nineties
were the last years in service on short lines for a lot of GP 7s.
ADM plant, Ama, La; March 1998. GP 7s also do some industrial switching.
Brunswick, Ga; May 1999. End of the line for 8239 which might be a Southern number. The gutting
has started: first the bell, then the fuel tank...
