the middle fan was much smaller than the other two.think it might have been a gp 35 although not quite sure.saw it yesterday running light on up’s mainline,just a few block’s from where i live.it’s not their today and i tried searching google and etc but can’t find any info or image’s.not sure when they were built but i guess their is not to many left.terry…
UP’s roster lists UP 1410 as a GP40-2. UPY 1410 is a MP15AC. Perhaps the middle fan just looked smaller for some reason.

The ‘lower’ middle fan may have been an replacement fan…

When you say smaller, do you mean diameter or hieght? It is common for a locomotive to have different hieght fans due to service or rebuild - the shop forces just grab the next fan that fits off the shelf. Diameter is another matter entirely.
thank’s jrb and nigel.the fan in the middle is smaller in height.were iced up here in atchison and i can’t get out to go downtown to see if it’s still their.so will have to wait until friday or saturday.terry…(i’m sure that it is a gp40 as stated by an earlier poster…just thought it was funny because the fan’s are arranged as a gp35)
