Not much use for that coal chute for these diesel units!
A total of 4 heritage units,2 Conrail and 2 Chessie System,wait for railroad.Left to right:ex Reading GP-40-2 3277,ex Penn Central GP-40 3033,ex C&O(now a "WM" unit)5979,and renumbered(into the Ch... (more)
While I think a passenger train looks better with matched power,this 1418,1963,and 8467 set shows us 3 different schemes:VIA,CPR Action Red,and the CPR "Script" scheme.
Two GP-30's lead two GP-40-2's east on the "wrong main" westbound track,back when they were "real" GP-30's and not road slugs.
Interesting units with all that stainless on the sides.Slide marked as "Chicago",but maybe this is in Franklin Park/Bensenville.
A roster view of 49 before Metra.
Two GM&O "redbirds" lead this Paducah bound freight on a fine spring afternoon.
Office car special blasts west through some fall color.
The best example(in my book anyway)of how to do a "patch job".All 3 of the recently returned(from the Erie Lackawanna)SD-45's,801,803,and 802,rest between runs.
A GP-38/GP-35 combo departs Flat Rock Yard.
A pair of GP-40-2's(407 and 414)roll this southbound train.The 407 sports the new updated "compass scheme".
PC 7903,7991,EL 2518,and a Southern Railway high hood/AAR trucked GP-35 wait at Crain Ave for a fresh crew before heading west.
Ex EL Alco is in charge of this local switcher job.Fresh paint on the signal wouldn't matter in a couple of years,as CR would downgrade this line to one industrial track,and then sell it to a shor... (more)
Conrail's first GP-40-2 was an ex Reading unit,shown here e/b with ex PC U-33-B 2969.Love those open auto carriers!
A Buffalo and Pittsburgh train has a rare non-dynamic ex L&N GP-35 leading a bunch of GP-9's of various heritage.
