OK. I normally am "up" on appliances like the stuff on the cab roof - especially RF stuff - but that junkpile on the cab roof has me flummoxed. That's beefy enough to be a base for a pan. I can't imagine that's just antenna supports.

History books will show that these reporting marks belonged to the Delaware and Hudson originally, but now are used for the Delong company. Built in February of 2025, the MDDE took this covered hopper out of the Perdue Hurlock feed mill with what might have been it's initial load.

I knew from the olden days replacing top hats with Excalibur skates that the GP30 cab roofs were thin, but gawd that's overkill.

They're stamped sheet so not as thick as they look at fist glance. Someone had fun in the shops, probably with whatever was laying around.
