Carl

Carl is a older diesel who works on the Dock Railway. He is idolized by Carla, his stablemate, and often pulls freights and also helps other engines.
== History ==
Carl was built experimentally by Electro-Motive Diesel at their La Grange (McCook) locomotive construction shops in 1962 as an "EMD GP34", a so-called "prototype" of the EMD GP35. When EMD was finished using Carl for designing their EMD GP35's, they sold Carl, along with a spare set of locomotive bogies, to the Dock Railway.
In 1994, he was rebuilt by Conrail's Juniata Locomotive shops under contract from the Dock Railway with a EMD 16-710G3A prime mover, a early electronic locomotive bell inbetween his numberboards, lights on his nose, a larger snowplow, and extra headlights on his front porch. He was subsequently given a "EMD GP35-2" remanufacture plate but retained his EMD GP34 classification.
