Thirty Thursday: U30s again
Author: march_hare

It's early 1974 as a southbound D&H freight with a U30C leading passes the former depot in Central Bridge, NY.  Recently repainted by the RR, the building will live on for a few more years leased to a neighboring feed dealer.  It was eventually demolished about 5-10 years ago.

Nice photo... I like the Pontiac Catalina too... I'll take it.

The way the train comes around the curve and the background make this an even better photo.

Here are some U30Cs at Hinton WV in 1972/1973. The first shows an empty coal train stopping at the passenger station to change crews. The second is at the refueling/sanding area west of the old coaling tower.

And here is a coal drag with U30Cs leaving east out of North Platte NE in 1976.

Also in 1976 here are two shots east of North Platte. One has a N&W SD45 sandwiched between the U30Cs and the other has UP U50Cs.
