Nostalgia & History > Avery, ID - 1961 Photo by Don SimsDate: 01/22/17 11:16 Avery, ID - 1961 Photo by Don Sims Author: Phantom_of_Cajon 1961 over Labor Day weekend, we took a trip to Avery, Idaho where this photo was taken. It was an rare opportunity for my Dad to show the changing state of power at that time.

There aren't that many photos of the U25B's and GP30's being mixed like that on the PCE floating around so this is a real gem.

The Joes and GP9s remained unchanged. These were still pretty good times for a financially stressed railroad. |
