Remarks & Notes

Probably the closest thing to shooting a Missouri Pacific train I'll ever get. A westbound CC train works through the Winthrop Curves on the way to Waterloo. In the 10 years of the CCP's existence, they leased a few things from Helm. These ex-UP GP 38s were only 3 of the 12 Helm units to ever be stenciled "HL." All 12 of those units went into the GTW rebuild program, and these 3 units are now GTW 4932-4934. Small world! MP 888, MP 2039 to HL 2039 to GTW 5733, GTW 4933 MP 870, MP 2021 to HL 2021 to GTW 5732, GTW 4932 MP 894, MP 2045 to HL 2045 to GTW 5734, GTW 4934 Per the dieselshop.us/Hnotes.HTML Scanned negative from February 1991
