GP16 FRAME NUMBER VERIFICATION PAGE

Back in 1988 I typed up a roster including Serial numbers and frame numbers. Most likely the renumbering into the 1700 and 1800’s by CSX in 1987 prompted me to undertake this project. I was able to document the frame numbers of 76 of the 161 rebuilt units, and never found any discrepancies with frame numbers. So the list below is just simply a listing of frame numbers checked while I was out track side.

• CSX 1701 Frame # 5006-9 checked 6/03/1990 in Baldwin Fla.

• CSX 1750 Frame # 5125-5 checked 11/03/1990 right side frame Baldwin Fla. There was also a second number in the right side frame. It was 4621, and later I would find out that this unit, SCL 4704, was for a short time numbered 4621. The move to the 4700’s was to keep units with 16-645BC engines and regular (non-alignment) couplers in the 4700’s while units in the 4600’s used the C-engine and alignment control couplers. Interesting as no other GP16 had its number engraved in the frame. I’m not sure why the 4621 was engraved in the frame.
