Robert Krol add on 1/19/11: "The 1810 has a rounded top on the cab while the rest have the regular angled cab top."
Jason Kuehn added on 1/23/11: "1802 was the only GP-7 to be equipped with a snow plow because this locomotive was commonly assigned to road service on the Whittier shuttle, whereas most of the GP-7's were assigned to switching service in Anchorage and Fairbanks or to work trains. 1804 was also equipped with a dynamic brake blister."
