John is correct. The SP (Pacific Lines) did not purchase any GP7s. The Cotton
Belt (SSW) purchased one GP7 that was intially painted in Daylight colors. The
SP had a boatload of GP9s.
Only three SP GP9s received the the roof mounted air tanks which were
especially designed for a long distance passenger train that ran between San
Jose and Monterey (Pacific Grove) called the Del Monte.
SP units were originally fitted with a wagon wheel antenna. As far as I know,
the only "hand rail" antenna (not sure what the Pennsy called it) used by the
SP was on a few streamlined passenger cars in Daylight service.
Bob, excellent work. Thank you for sharing. I wish I had taken construction
photos of my GP9s. Your photos brought back some pleasant memories.
Cheers,
