Rock Island 1329 2nd edit

This particular Geep has two serial numbers as it was wrecked and rebuilt early in its time on the Rock Island. The first 1329 was a GP9 built by EMD as serial #25219 on order 5599 in April 1959. That unit is documented on the GP9 page. The second 1329 was a Geep? rebuilt by EMD as serial #26348 on repair order 8069 in November 1960. The second 1329 is described as having 1750 horsepower, some sites carry it as a GP9 and some as a GP18. The Extra 2200 South roster in the shows 1329 2nd as a GP9 built in November 1960 which is a year past what is considered the end of EMD GP9 production. --SSW9389 (talk) 12:28, 6 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
