A total of 706 GP38 locomotives were produced, and the type became a familiar sight across North American railroads throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Many GP38s were later rebuilt to updated standards, helping these dependable EMD road switchers remain in service for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConrail GP38 #7904 Extended Cab\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis release represents \u003cstrong\u003eConrail (CR) #7904\u003c\/strong\u003e with the distinctive \u003cstrong\u003ePRSL-style extended dual control stand cab\u003c\/strong\u003e.
