Those are neat looking GE's.  I love the trucks on those units.  And although the unit may be a bit tattered, it still looks awesome!

Cool looking unit, expecially with the cab signal box behind the cab, but man I bet the crews were glad when it was scrapped.  The GE U25/28C's were the roughest riding units ever.  Even worse than the B39's.  BSB

A classic hacked up "CR" patch job but part of history; thanks for posting.  U-Boats sure seemed to attract leaves to the radiators!

The hand written “Danger 600 volts” is classic.
