Nostalgia & History > More Twenty Tuesday

Here is a photo I took of a ATSF westbound at Joliet UD with GP20 #3125 on the point with three more.

Great catch. The factory-made low-nose GP20 certainly looks good to me.

Unless I'm mistaken.
I like the fact that you caught your own shadow in the picture.

With the fresh paint on the cabs this picture was probably taken about 1970 or so right after the great renumbering.

Nice catch as it is always neat to see 4 matching units.  Always liked the individual look of GP20s

As a kid, I used to drool over the Tyco GP20s I couldn't afford!

Great image, I remember as a kid when the GP20's started showing up on the Arkansas City Subdivision so they would run by my childhood home in North Wichita.  One Christmas the Monkey Wards catalog carried a Tyco trainset with a splashy ATSF GP20 as the power and I was exceedinly pleased when mom and dad got that set for me!  Loved the "weenie-roast-in-the-cab" on those Tyco engines but that GP20 was a runner!

Now if you could find an image of a GP20 in road number 3124 or 3129, I have a builders plate from each of those....

Thanks Bob!
