Nice classic shot! The U30c and SD40 make that U18 look tiny!

I beg to differ with the first comment. The second unit in this photo simply cannot be a U18-B as Louisville & Nashville did not buy any of them. Seaboard Cost Line did have the U18-B's, but not the L & N. The second unit is Number 2704 and is a U23-B, Ex- Monon, 605. From Monon 601-608 which became L & N 2700-2707. Monon 605 became Louisville & Nashville 2704. For those who have one, please see Jerry A Pinkepank's The Second Diesel Spotter's Guide page GE-181 for a photo of factory fresh Monon 601 and the above information,and more.
