The GP35 was EMD's answer to a horsepower race it was losing. Built from 1963, it put 2,500 hp on four axles and turned up on nearly every Class 1 railroad in North America, and many were rebuilt and kept working for decades. Broadway Limited models the common low-nose version. This one wears Union Pacific's 1980s Armour Yellow and gray with large lettering as #747, with Paragon4 sound on DC or DCC.
