Nicely done!

Is the GP30 the old grand dad?

What GP30? I don't see a GP30 anywhere in that photo.

Quite a line-up in a great location. Well done.

Somehow I suspect the photo was not staged - just happened with that line-up.

       Yes, you are correct, very obvious there is no GP30 in that photo when I look at it either. Can't mistake the lines of a GP30.

Thanks for the interesting picture.  This location is now the Locust Street pedestrian grade crossing to the Schuylkill River Trail.  On Google Earth, Street View, you can walk right out there.  The building at right has been renovated; but the spurs the locomotives are on are absent.  And the GP30 is the greatgrand dad of the GP40-2.  Gerry

You have to drink a couple of shots of Old Grandad, then you might see a GP30
