Nostalgia & History > GN BSB U-boat with Big Blue Sky .. and white snowDate: 02/24/17 11:41 GN BSB U-boat with Big Blue Sky .. and white snow Author: valmont Wish I had info about this pic (do now, see below) ... it's such a well exposed shot that the photographers credit should be in this post!
From Alan Miller: Ed Kanak photo, Twin Cities area Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/25/17 04:28 by valmont.

I am sure you will have better sources than me. Nice pic

But it also looks like it hit something, and bent the footboards and pilot down to just about the rail height. And, you can see foot prints in the snow leading away to the road. I wonder if it had a crossing accident, or hit something on the tracks, and stopped right there ?

The Chesapeake & Ohio, New Haven, New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad also had U25Bs numbered 2500. Date: 02/24/17 16:57 Re: GN BSB U-boat with Big Blue Sky .. and white snow Author: gnfan Erie Lackawanna had U25B locomotives numbered in the 2500s.

Yes, but the lowest numbered U25B was 2501 which is why I did not include Erie Lackawanna in my list. Date: 02/24/17 18:45 Re: GN BSB U-boat with Big Blue Sky .. and white snow Author: 4489 Like.
