	EMD GP20 History
		The EMD GP20 model was born out of the necessity by EMD to get greater horsepower out of a diesel locomotive.
		Even though EMD was reluctant to incur the possible maintenance headaches of the turbochargers on 4 axle units (because the increase in horsepower was not that great over the current GP9 model) they began production of the GP20 model in November of 1959.
		EMD was even offering trade in allowances for older units towards the cost of the new GP20s as an incentive for sales.

	The EMD GP20
		The GP20 was one of EMD’s first to feature the standard cab, a design that would become, well, virtually standard on diesels for the next 30+ years (until the FRA mandated that the wide cab design be employed on every new locomotive in the 1990s for added safety).
		While the GP20 was not as successful as its later sisters like the GP30, GP40, GP40-2, and SD40 and SD40-2, it nevertheless had decent sales for only being in the catalog for three years and cranked out a total of 260 units.
		Perhaps the key visual differences between the GP20 and its later sister the GP30 was the latter’s distinctive bulge over the cab where the dynamic braking was housed and a solid front windshield as opposed to a split version on the GP30.

	EMD GP20 WP 2009
		In the steam days, there were several engines that regularly appeared on TS rails, notably WP 122, 124 and 125 (which was also leased to the TS for several years), but in the diesel era few engines seemed to become regulars.
		It was the only GP20 to receive yellow paint and one of only 6 high nose WP/SN units repainted (including SN GP7 711 and 4 WP GP9s).
		Today, only two of her sisters survive: WP 2002 has been chopped nosed and works for an industry in the midwest, while WP 2001, the first of her model ever built, is preserved at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum at Portola, California, restored to her as delivered appearance.

		The EMD GP30 was a 2,250 hp (1,680 kW) four-axle B-B diesel locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois between July, 1961 and November, 1963.
		Since EMD needed the new locomotive to be visibly modern and updated, they turned to the GM Automotive Styling Center at Troy, Michigan for help.
		EMD originally planned to name the locomotive the GP22, and the first demonstrators were put out under that number, but EMD's marketing department decided to leapfrog GE's numbering to make the new locomotive seem more advanced.

	EMD GP20 at AllExperts
		While the EMD SD24 with six axles was producing 2400 Hp with an engine of the same displacement, the four axle GP20 was limited to 2000 Hp by the capabilities of the traction motors of the time.
		In appearance the locomotive was similar to a late version GP9 or GP18 but with the two exhaust stacks over the engine replaced by a single stack foreword over the exit of the turbocharger, in common with later turbocharged locomotives.
		EMD was initially hesitant to turbocharge their 567-series diesel engine, but was spurred on to do so following successful tests made by Union Pacific in the form of their Omaha GP20 units.

	Union Pacifics EMD GP30s and GP30Bs
		EMD's GP30 was introduced in July 1961 in response to General Electric's own U25B.
		The U25B's 2,500 horsepower was 500 more that EMD's then currently available GP20, and has been said by some to be the start of a horsepower race that continues today.
		When GP30 demonstrator 5629 (also its EMD order number) was completed in July 1961, it was painted in an unlettered version of Union Pacific's yellow and gray paint scheme, and headed out for road testing.

	WP GP20 History
		The GP20 was an important milestone in locomotive design, they were EMD's first step into turbocharging as a means to increase horsepower.
		EMD advertised that the new GP20 would reduce scheduled maintenance time by about 60% and increase freight speeds using fewer units (3 for 2 replacement).
		When Eugene went on a parts search for the WP Silver Hostel in the Midwest in the spring of 2003, one of his stops was to be the NRE facility at Mt. Vernon to look over the GP20's to see if there was anything salvageable.

	Diesel Locomotives
		The diesel-electric locomotive would also go on to becoming a major milestone in North American railroading as it symboled the end of the of the only motive power type, aside from electrics, to be used in the industry, the steam locomotive.
		Diesels required far less maintenance in terms of overhauls (scheduled time in the shops for routine maintenance) and refueling (no longer were there frequent stops requiring water), which allowed them to be spending much more time moving freight for the railroads.
		However, when the diesel was first coming of age there were still several builders, with many steam locomotive manufacturers switching to diesel-electric development when the writing on the wall became apparent that diesels were the future.

		EMD was somewhat reluctant to equip production units with turbochargers due to increased maintenance costs, but with the competitors offering road switchers with up to 2500 hp ratings, they decided the time was right.
		Shortly after EMD developed it's turbocharger, nine UP GP9's were thus equipped and tested prior to offering it in a production unit.
		The Burlington units were equipped with dynamic brakes with a 48" pan-top fan, a 2350-gallon fuel tank, a 48" cooling fan behind the cab, a single exhaust stack, a 36" cooling fan covered by a winterization hatch and a final 48"fan.

		With a long history of producing reliable locomotives, EMD was not about to make radical changes in its locomotive designs.
		EMD was careful to note that while the GP20 contains more than 30 design and material changes, its overall dimensions and general configuration have not changed from past General Purpose models.

		P2k's GP20 represents Phase 1a units (judging from the photo on their Web site), and by changing the radiator fans, Phase 1b's can be modeled.
		Phase II GP20 eliminated the distinctive frame perforations, introducing the thin frame that would follow with the later GP30's (starting in 1962) and GP35s (1964).
		Despite only 260 units built, GP20's were landmark diesels insofar as they heralded the turbocharged age for EMD locomotives (the SD24 notwithstanding), and helped usher in the second generation.

		Western Pacific was impressed by the new model's ability to deliver maximum horsepower at various altitudes and ordered the first six.
		Western Pacific #2001, the very first GP20, was donated by UP to the Feather River Rail Society in 1985, where it has been restored to its as-built appearance.
