Nostalgia & History > SP TE 70 Photos Needed

Hi,
I'm hoping that someone has roof / overhead amd detail shots of any of the SP TE 70's. The web just has roster and action shots..An overhead view would help me with my modeling project. The photos shared here make the yearly membership cost a bargain! Many thanks for any and all help.

Just out of curiosity, and please excuse my ignorance, but what is an SP TE 70?

Morrison Knudsen Model TE704s. 4 were built in the late '70's from GE U25b's with Sulzer engines. They were painted in Daylight colors. There was a thread a ways back about how you can still see these units on Google Earth if you knew where to look.

You can also see them if you ride BART between the Fruitvale and Coliseum stations in East Oakland.

A good view of the roofs can be seen here:

Hi,
It's neat to see where they sit, But for detail purposes I need something closer with resolution..Thanks for taking the time to look them up...Dave

Thanks John. It almost looks like an honorary GP30? Maybe not either though. Sorry GP30 fans.

They're all well tweaked U25B'S...

I have a beautiful close up roof slide but can't scan it.

I have a bunch of photos of these units, 3 of them posted here, and may have the shots you are looking for. Unfortunately do not have the time to scan them at present. Have several projects in the works. Perhaps in 2 or 3 weeks I might have a chance to scan some for you. I will make a note of it, so I can do those first, when time permits. Have a bunch of other stuff I have wanted to share also, but other multi-media programs need to be worked on first.
