Nostalgia & History > GP-30 Thanksgiving (for Frank)

A short little PM conversation with Mr. "GP30Frank" last night stirred up memories of my resolve to get my GP-30 collection (both Santa Fe & UP) scanned sometime soon. Until I can shuffle 4 or 5 of my hotter 'irons in the fire' onto the back burner, these 2 examples will just have to do. Here's some Thanksgiving Day dessert for ya, my friend! (and thanks for stirring me up a bit ;^)

1. UP 849 idling at Marysville, KS on May 25, 1981.

2. AT&SF 3240 departing Argentine, KS along the original 3 mainlines while an eastbound hump job is working on the high line on April 8, 1977.

Thank You:
For the free country we live in!
For the food on our plates & the air that we breathe!
For the families we have and the friendships we make!
For the sun & the rain & the wind!
And for the life I'm blessed with!

Thanks for letting me share pictures & stories with my TO family!

Lance:

Nice shots. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks, Lance. Obviously, I'm sort of prejudiced about 30's, and I sure hate to see those recent photos of them being hauled off to Larry's.
