Nostalgia & History > Thirty Thurs---some IC (ICG)Date: 09/19/19 06:10 Thirty Thurs---some IC (ICG) Author: ghemr 1. GP30 2251 with GP10 8329 at Hayford Jct. Chicago, IL date unfortunately unknown
2 and 3. 2250 at Glenn Yard Chicago, IL date unknown These are former GM&O units on Alco trucks.... Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/19/19 06:20 by ghemr.

Additionally, GP35 2520 also made it to repainting. Neither lasted more than a few years.

The GP30's looked good in the ICG orange / white. Date: 09/19/19 22:56 Re: Thirty Thurs---some IC (ICG) Author: IC1038west ghemr Wrote:
