Nostalgia & History > UP 32 in North Topeka, early 70'sDate: 02/03/07 13:31 UP 32 in North Topeka, early 70's Author: ddg I wrote "one of the last U-50-d's" on the back of this photo, taken in the early-mid 70's in N. Topeka. I should have taken more photos with a better camera. These were so common then, I enjoyed looking and listening, more than looking through a lens.

Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Africansteam   Date: 02/03/07 17:02 Re: UP 32 in North Topeka, early 70's Author: ddg That's more like it. I need to figure out how to use that I guess.

Loved their coal turbines of the early 60's much better with that beefed up PA-1 appearance. Just my personal thoughts, but thanks for the sharing anyway.
