#7 should be a GP9 on the Santa Fe near Argentine Yard.  I suspect all these photos were in the Bill Kuba collection.  And thanks again for posting them.

Picture number 6 was from the Martha Street overpass in Omaha.  Martha Street was my favorite place to take train pictures whevisiting relatives in Omaha back in the 70s and 80s.  At that time, one could see frequent Union Pacific, Burlington Northern, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and Milwaukee Road through trains and transfer jobs.  It was great and in the past I have posted several pictures from this bridge here at TO.

Is that an "Omaha Geep" behind the F9 in the third photo?
