A quartet of diesels sits in Rock Island’s yard in Amarillo: Two GP40s, a U25B and an U28B. RI GP40 4709 as built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in April 1970. After the fall of the Rock Island, it would become Union Pacific 640.

This slide in my collection may have been mislabeled, as this does not look like the Amarillo I visited three years earlier. If this location looks familiar, please feel free to leave a comment, as I'd love to correct this.
