The GP35 was EMD’s sec- ond offering in what now is considered the second generation of diesel power. Over 1300 units were produced in a little over two years. Lessons learned from past Bproduction and advancing technology provided for a quantum leap forward in performance and operation. In addition, EMD with the production of the GP35 began the use of standard modular construction in the design of locomotive bodies. This standard locomotive of the 1960’s can still be seen in operation nearly four decades after it was first introduced. Athearn’s Ready-To-Run GP35 represents a phase 1a version that was produced from October 1963 to February 1964. This was arguably the most widely used variant of the GP35. Some of the spotting features of this phase captured on the model are: • Thick side sill • Triple louver sets on the battery box covers • Open top 36" radiator center fans • Flat bottom cab number board housing • Flat inertial air filter hatch • Low profile fuel tank • Multiple latches on the engine compartment doors This attention to detail and the unsurpassed value built into every Ready-To-Run™ locomotive, as well as all the additional incorporated features, makes them the first choice with model railroad operators.

  • Locomotive Crashworthiness of Transportation
    © U.S. Department Locomotive Crashworthiness of Transportation Federal Railroad and Cab W orking Conditions Administration Report to Congress Office of Safety Assurance and Compliance September 1996 stives THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 Septem ber 18, 1996 The Honorable Albert Gore, Jr. President o f the Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear M r. President: I am pleased to submit the enclosed report prepared by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on “Locomotive Crashworthiness and Cab Working Conditions,” as requested by the Rail Safety Enforcement and Review Act, Public Law 102-365. This report responds to the congressional mandate to report on issues related to: • health and safety of locomotive cab working conditions; • effectiveness of Association of American Railroads (AAR) Specification S-580; and • benefits and cost of additional locomotive crashworthiness features. The report summarizes the findings of FRA’s study, which included research on locomotive crashworthiness features, extensive consultations with a wide range of interested parties, and a field survey of actual locomotive working conditions. These findings indicate that a number of the crashworthiness features and working condition improvements identified in the Act merit further action by FRA in cooperation with the private sector. Identified priority safety improvements include implementation of stronger collision posts and fu ll height corner posts, incorporation of a crash refuge, improved fuel tank design, and improved methods to control noise and temperature levels inside the locomotive cab. Consistent with FRA’s emphasis on promoting a collaborative approach to railroad safety, FRA w ill seek the participation of railroads, employee representatives, manufacturers and suppliers, and other interested persons in determining the specific actions that may be appropriate to advance the safety and health of railroad crew members, based on the results of this study and other information that the parties may make available.
