The frame on the 6 motor GE's looks like it sat significantly higher than other units (including 4 motor GE's) certainly making them look much more impressive than those other units. Was it something about the 6 axle trucks that caused the need to raise the frame up higher?

Nice shot and reminder of what it was like in our day.Bill Webb

A very nice look back.  Thanks for sharing.

Great image - They certainly put the right locomotive on the point.

From the looks of the paint job the GE was probably just out of the shop too.

Nice photo, JB!
