Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The EMD GP38AC is a 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between February 1970 and December 1971. It was basically a GP38 with an AR10 alternator instead of the GP38's normal generator.[1][2]
261 examples of this model were built; railroads that purchased this model include CP, DT&I, GTW, GM&O, IC, LV, L&N, N&W, SLSF, SOU and Pacific Power and Light.[3]
Many were upgraded to full GP38-2 status with the Dash 2 modular electrical cabinet.
