UP U50D in NE
Author: odub

Wasn't going to put anymore up, but I came across this shot of a UP U50D in central Nebraska taken in September of 1967. One of my earliest slides (I'd shot B&W for the most part). The slide was very poorly exposed, had scratches and lost a lot of its color. Originally processed by Sears (I couldn't guess the film, but Sears did sell film under their own label then). I believe this is the only slides (I took a series of the same train, of course) I have of the unique B+B wheeled GEs.

That is nice! Looks like a CB&Q GP-30 behind it too. Thanks, never got to see any of the big GEs.

Not sure about 1967, but in the 80s, 3M made film for most "house brands."

Nice shot! This is actually classified as a U50, There was a U50, and then a U50C that had radiators in the middle.
