locomotives were being replaced. Production spanned from February 1969 to June 1982. G22CU-2 Beginning on January 1, 1972, export locomotives now had the option to carry EMD Dash 2 electronics, adding the (-2) suffix to the locomotive model. Only Argentina and Taiwan purchased the G22CU-2. Production spanned from March 1992 to August 2001 GL22C When most second and third world railroads couldn't operate standard EMD Locomotives due to their weight, EMD introduced the L suffix which indicated the locomotive had a lightweight frame. The locomotive designation was now changed to GL22C. However, as these locomotives had a much lighter frame, the application of the U or W suffixes no longer applied. Production spanned from December 1971 to May 1977 GL22C-2 Being the rarest of the G22C series, the GL22C-2 model combined a lightweight frame and the new EMD Dash 2 electronics. Production was only for Queensland Rail, who were the sole purchaser. GL22MC New Zealand DF Class 30 Togo Rail S.A CC class 1651 to 1653. Phasing Only two general variations have been noticed during the G22C production. Phase 1: Larger frame sill, air reservoir slung under skirting. Phase 2: Smaller frame sill, air reservoir exposed, and two horizontal bars along intake grilles. There have been various as-modifications on railroads as well, but are excluded due to various degrees of completion on the modification. Models The G22CU/G22CW model is represented in HO Scale by Frateschi trains of Brazil. Due to the accommodation of the motor, the model is not entirely accurate.
