WRIX 316 is the CRR version of the GP16, similar to an IGC GP11, but different.

Unit IS a GP11.This Clinchfield GP11 rebuild was one outsourced to the ICG/PNC shop at Paducah, KY and is an Illinois Central Gulf Paducah Shops rebuild. ICG designated these as GP11 locomotives. ICG Paducah-rebuilt GP11 locomotives were numbered in the 8700-series. Clinchfield Railroad also had 6 of these GP11 locomotives. These were also built by ICG-Paducah, and are betrayed by the shortened nose (to accomodate a new electrical cabinet behind the cab,) spartan cab and the primary air filtration system, which is mounted atop the hood behind the forward radiator section. The GP16 is a product of Seaboard System and Family Lines' own Geep rebuild progam, with units dubbed Uceta Geeps, because of the shop that did the work, followed, and these encompassed core units from most of the Family Lines component roads.

This is actually a GP16 we purchased, then leased to the DMVW, then got it back and leased it to the WIRR

Does anyone know the roster number was on this unit when it was with CRR?

As I said -- It is a GP16 Rebuilt From A GP7 still retaining the B Engine. We own it therefore we know what it is
