Tis a Omaha GP-20 witch is a upgraded and turbocharged GP-9 . The horsepower rating was increased from 1750 to 2000 horses powering the locomotive. These were custom made by the UP in the Omaha shops. A neat looking engine with plenty of horsepower. Thanks for posting. PS. Some of these locos were derated as they were just to powerful and caused track damage, and they were classified GP-9M.
