Front End Friday: U50
Author: BNSF-6432

Here's a shot from what I believe to be somewhere around Denver, CO. While Frank Tribbey was visiting, he was just able to capture U50 #39 with the end of a roll of film, hence the reason for the shot being cut short.

Taken December 1968 by Frank Tribbey.

Neat photo.

I think those horns on the U50s came from the turbines. Forward facing one looks to be deterioating.

That front horn looks like it has found a low clearance a time or two.

Kinda reminds me of North Platte , with all the houses. Nearer to town.

When did the Leslie Tyfon A-200-156 go out of production?
