The GP7 was EMD’s first major hood-unit road locomotive and helped establish the practical road-switcher format that would become a standard across North American railroads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike earlier car-body locomotives, the GP7’s design gave engineers improved sightlines toward both ends of the locomotive, making it highly effective for freight, switching, and general-purpose service. Its success was so widespread that EMD’s GP locomotives became known by the nickname “Geeps,” and many continued serving short lines and industrial operators long after most Class I railroads had retired them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith Burlington Northern markings, this model is ideal for collectors looking to represent the long service life and enduring appeal of the GP7, a locomotive whose simple, hardworking design helped change railroad operations for decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"441\" data-start=\"425\"\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This item is currently \u003cstrong data-end=\"482\" data-start=\"465\"\u003ePREORDER ONLY\u003c\/strong\u003e and is expected to ship in \u003cstrong data-end=\"523\" data-start=\"510\"\u003e3-4 weeks \u003c\/strong\u003eafter checkout.
