I still see Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Great Northern woodchip cars here in Seattle ... not behind GP-35s ... but my point is anything is possible in...
I pretty much concur with Robert on this. Though I would use GP35s to pull modern-day well cars and rolling stock, I think running things up to about 1985...
