Two photos of King Street station in August 1969 with two SDP45s on the point of the Empire Builer for the GN fans. George McLeod photos shared with permission...

Very cool!

Do you have any more shots of King Street from this time period?

Both photos even include the wires for an electric trolley bus. GN blue sky locomotives under a blue sky - Great catch.

Really like the second photo with the two SDP45s and the "New Look" bus in the background.

I have 2 SDP-45's for my layout.  #330 & 333.  Both dedicated to my Mum who passed away last year.  Her birthday was March 30, 1930, hence the dedications.  Great to see an inservice photo of 333, many thanks.

Photos were taken by a friend Mark's father on a trip in 1969. No others of photos besides these two at King Street... Knew some GN fans would enjoy seeing these two Big SKY BLUE beauties
