Your picture is a tiny sloppy blurry at numbers, horns, right edge roof and dual lights the cab.

Almost looks like a GP9 cab on a GP38.

hosted on rrpicturearchives without identification of the photographer in the black line/box at the bottom of the image...
I like the font of the number on the cab though...it's different...

Those are all good guesses..Matt, I didn't notice the lack of a sight glass..but no, those are not what i was looking for, feel free to try again.
NOTE..she still has the same numbers on the cab sides from when she was built.

Top beam of the headlight is burnt out.
OR COULD IT BE.......... the lack of a spacer car inbetween the tanker and engine.

My next guess was the rubber bands holding the top of the hood together

hmm...upon closer inspection, it looks like part of the hood might've been replaced...specifically, the section that's a much lighter shade of blue than the rest of the blue parts...or possibly the fact that the pic was taken in Mississippi...

I noticed the door on the front of the cab didn't have a handle....looked at it closer and it looks like there isn't a door!

Is there something wrong with the battery box? Looks like it's got a bit more blue in front than other 5800 series locos might've had...
