Nostalgia & History > The Redmond Files... North Yard, January 28, 1979Date: 03/25/20 13:53 The Redmond Files... North Yard, January 28, 1979 Author: MaryMcPherson On January 28, 1979, George stopped by North Yard at Carbondale, Illinois.
1. GP8 #7957 standing by with the car shops in the background. The headlight placing is unusual on this one. 2. GP35 #627 still in GM&O colors. 3. GP38 #9525 with one of the coal towers in the background. Mary McPherson Dongola, IL Diverging Clear Productions    Date: 03/25/20 13:55 Re: The Redmond Files... North Yard, January 28, 1979 Author: MaryMcPherson 4. GP40 #3016 coupled to GM&O #635.
5. Another view of #9525 with both of the coal towers. 6. Another view of #635 next to an old passenger car now in company service.

I may be wrong, but doesn't at least one of those coal(?) towers still stand today? I spent the night in Carbondale a few yew years ago and recorded some Amtrak & CN action. I seem to remember seeing that tower(s) up north of the psgr depot area...
Lance/199 Date: 03/25/20 14:39 Re: The Redmond Files... North Yard, January 28, 1979 Author: MaryMcPherson They are both still there. They were solidly enough built that they would be too much of a pain to take down.
