Draft:EMD GP35E

• Comment: See WP:ANI#Australian railroad IP, The proposal to block the person editing from IP's with this behaviour and delete their future drafts/articles is supported and carried. Practically speaking, this amounts to a site ban; any IP address that geolocates appropriately and engages in "dubious notability, ref-bombing, fixation on American locomotives of a certain era" can be blocked for a period of time on sight, and their edits reverted and/or deleted. Their edits to AfD discussions can also be reverted on the same basis. Note that articles/drafts created prior to this closure cannot be deleted per this clause, for the same reason that G5 deletions only apply from the point where an editor is banned. I will block the most recently-used IP for 3 months. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 00:21, 3 December 2023 (UTC) S0091 (talk) 20:20, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

The EMD GP35E is a rebuild from EMD GP35 diesel locomotives that were originally built between 1963 and 1966.

History

Beginning in 1977, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company had rebuilt one GP35 SP GP35 #6300 into an GP35E to test if they could rebuild their GP35 locomotives, and when the test was a success, they decided that another 60 of these locomotives would be rebuilt.
