Nostalgia & History > Thanksgiving weekend, 1977

Back in 1977 I was still employed at UPS. It was rare to get any weekday off, but in the 70s the Thanksgiving holiday was a 4 day affair at Brown and I often used it to travel. Over the 1977 Thanksgiving Day weekend I ventured over to Illinois in search of whatever I might run across. Attached are three from that trip :

TP&W 2002 and some BN power at East Peoria
GM&O F7 800B at Bloomington
Peoria and Pekin Union 601 at Creve Coeur

That P&PU 601 is interesting. Rebuilt NW2 with a full length rad like an SW7. Rebuilt from #401.

Thanks Roger.
