A GP10 is a diesel-electric locomotive that is the result of rebuilding an EMD GP9.

The Illinois Central Railroad had three separate rebuild programs to upgrade their old EMD GP9s. The first was the GP8, second the GP10 and third the GP11. All were rebuilt at IC's Paducah Shops in Kentucky.


USAX 1872 is a GP10 rebuilt from an EMD GP9 at Illinois Central Gulf Railroad's Paducah shops.
