Nostalgia & History > Frisco Baldwin SwicherDate: 12/14/12 20:24 Frisco Baldwin Swicher Author: Q4960 On Bloomington, Illinois west side was the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio's classification yards. Over the years I've seen many changes and many different things pass through including this Frisco Baldwin switcher en route to be traded in on new power around forty years ago. Footboards, poling pockets, how times have changed!
