    I think we all know GP18s are just as important as GP9s. There are several railroads that owned GP18s. Burlington Northern, Southern, Norfolk Southern, CNW, B&O, GTW, Illinois Central, Nickel Plate Road, Norfolk And Western, Seaboard Airline, and TPW all owned GP18s, with some having had sold theirs to each other. East Penn also had one:
