#1 B&O Lima 1200HP #9390 Sept. 1966 Karl Henkels original slide #2 CB&Q GE44T #9103 July 20, 1969 #3 Des Moines Union NW2 #5 Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/15/09 16:01 by valmont.

I wonder if NW2 5 of the Des Moines Union Railway (image #3) is an ex-Wabash unit - the all black body, with yellow sill and pilot striping, is identical to how they painted their switchers. The B&O Lima and the CB&Q GE 44 Tonner are FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing your FINE vintage images with us!

DMU was co-owned by the Wabash and the Milwaukee. That is probably the reason for the paint. -Justin |
