GP40 Roster Summary
|
This roster was originally
compiled as part of the disposition roster for the second volume of my
book "The Feather River Route, Volume II." The roster was updated
in 1994 during preparation of an article on WP's GP40 fleet for Pacific
RailNews magazine but was not included by the publisher when that monograph
finally saw print in April of 1996.
