EMD GP9 - Nickel Plate Road

This mod adds an EMD GP9 with New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad ('Nickel Plate Road') livery.

The EMD GP9 is a four-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in the United States, and General Motors Diesel in Canada between January 1954 and August 1963. The GP9 series found enormous success and became one of the most successful diesel locomotives ever built.

The New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad ('Nickel Plate Road') operated in the mid-central United States. The nickname 'Nickel Plate Road' is believed to have derived from an article in the Norwalk, Ohio, Chronicle of March 10, 1881 during an era when many were trying to entice the railroad to build a line through their town. The railroad adopted the name, often displaying it more prominately than the official name.

On October 16, 1964, the railroad merged with the Norfolk & Western.

Notes:
- This mod adds new vehicles to the game without altering anything currently existing in the game.
- This is a repaint of Urban Games EMD GP9. Without model rework, there are some inaccuracies.

Known Issues:
- The in-cab camera points backwards. This is to do with original model being oriented long hood forward.
- The multi-unit icon shows everything on 2nd unit backwards, including logos and wording. This is because game is using only one icon image and flipping it for the 2nd unit.
- Adding a custom color to unit may look strange. This is because custom colors are not intended, yet that feature wasn't disabled in this mod.
