I can't tell you the location. Maybe Willmar or Grand Forks or Breckenridge? Terminal seems kind of small to be Minneapolis or Minot. Best regards, Rob L. Date: 06/14/21 15:57 Re: GN FTA/B ('64) Author: valmont Thanks Rob ....

Posted from Android Date: 06/15/21 07:47 Re: GN FTA/B ('64) Author: NPEDDIE I remember a photo in "Trains" many years ago about the C&S leasing GN FT's in order to replace CS steam. It probably in Denver, seeing that Dick Wallin photographed that scene. If I get a few minutes I will try and view the "Trains" magazine 1940 to 2000 that I purchased several years to research the photo.
Ed Burns Date: 06/15/21 08:36 Re: GN FTA/B ('64) Author: ntharalson Can I disagree on the location? I was guessing Minneapolis Junction. The background would fit that time period and I know Wallin got to the Twin Cities a lot. West of there I'm not so sure.

I worked a crappy relief on the X-Gn side after the 1970 merger (I was NP). I must research this photo most.
P. S. I was not well liked by cause I was NP! Ed Burns Date: 06/15/21 18:34 Re: GN FTA/B ('64) Author: 41 It MIGHT be in Childress or Wichita Falls, TX, when the C&S and FW&D leased some GN FT's. IIRC, there's a couple pics of those in a Morning Sun book on the FW&D...
