Apalachicola Northern GP15T

Hi

I am hunting for the wheelbase for these units between truck centres.  Have seen 29'9" sited, but the same site thought GP20s were 32' so unsure of their accuracy.

Regards

Ben Scanlon

You're in luck.  We've got some old, long-gone GP15s on the roster that haven't been 'written-over' with renumbered units yet so they're still on the engineering tables.  Truck Centers on BNSF's 1977-built GP15-1s (the same as a "T", just minus the Turbo) is 357 inches -- 29.75ft.

If you're curious, Height is 186" and Width is 124"

That's also what the "Contemporary Diesel Spotter's Guide" shows - 29ft 9in, for all GP15 variations.
