The June 1976 Rails Northeast had an article on the PC GP20's
with a few photos that discussed their history, rebuilding, and
assignments.  To summarize the roster that was included:

Rebuilt
2100
2102
2103
2108
2112

Unrebuilt 
2101
2104
2105
2107
2109
2110
2111

Unit 2106 was not described; it would be rebuilt according to the
notes provided by Gary.  Unit 2111 is in conflict, I'd agree with
photo evidence.

I'll have to check out the new Diesel Era to see what it can add.
