5961wm
Western Maryland GP9 #5961...
#6961 was part of a 108 unit order of GP9s placed by
the C&O in 1954 and 55. 5901-5919 are what is considered Phase
I GP9s and the rest are Phase II. #5961 therefore is a Phase II GP9.
It was transferred from the C&O to the WM in Dec 1976 and hastily relettered
for the WM. Since the unit was painted in the C&O blue and yellow
scheme, the relettering created one of the few blue and yellow WM units.

Range GP9 page.

Below is a pic of the Front Range GP9 model I made into
#5961. It was originally decorated for the Pennsylvania RR.
