The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company purchased 9 GP38-2âs from EMD in 1975. These units were built to Conrail specs and featured a cab signal box, small âweed cutterâ plows, Leslie 3-chime horns, and small 2600gal fuel tanks. They operated out of Ohio hauling coal trains from their power plants in Ashtabula and Eastlake, OH. Usually running in sets of 4 (using one as a spare), they were used until their lease expired in 1997 and returned to their lessor. They would eventually be picked up by UP and then retired by 2008. Last reports show that they are in the GATX lease pool and could be seen operating wherever they are needed.
