The GP20 saw wide success across manyrailroads in mainline service. Over the years many were subsequently rebuilt, somelosing their turbos in the process, and diverted to secondary trains and locals. Dozenscan still be found today on short lines across America.All new to the Lionel lineup, the GP20 features many road-specific details like dynamicbrakes, Mars lights and rooftop details as appropriate.
