Nostalgia & History > Thirty Thursday

My first Contributions to this seemingly popular thread.  Here are 2 shots from over the years

Shot 1.  Rock and Rail GP30 301. This is ex Cotton Belt 750/SP 5000.  Liked this one when I worked at Rock & Rail. Taken at Portland Colo by the Holcim Cement Plant on 2/21/2004.  

Shot 2. An earlier one from one of my favorite places to shoot. B&O GP30 6960 at Rutherford Pa August 9 1980. Popular unit on the RDG off the interchange up from Hagerstown. Saw quite a few of these thru the years.

Thanks for looking. Ben
