http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=89062 Other searches showed there was on-line talk about saving the unit when its retirement was proposed - was anything credible ever mounted in this regard? Date: 11/05/12 23:11 Re: mFile: NKP GP35 #910 Author: PERichardson ClipX Wrote:

Alan, it could be?? However, I found the shot in Nickel Plate Color Photograhpy Vol. #3 The Railfan Perspective. Please let Vince and I know about it...we want to be correct about it.

I'm sure the book caption is correct and that Dave shot it. I had a few McKay slides but they were all B&LE.
