Bob Date: 05/10/22 07:45 Re: Geep Day Author: M630 All great shots. Love that long-hood forward CN configuration with the bell above the headlight.

The TH&B paint scheme was very nice. Gary Date: 05/10/22 08:56 Re: Geep Day Author: King_Coal Nice selection, Hoggerdoug. Nice to see them on the high iron again.

Trying to figure out the roof ductwork on the Geep in #3 but noticed it's coupled to a Jordan Spreader. Must be for flying snow as opposed to cold temperatures. t4p. Date: 05/10/22 15:23 Re: Geep Day Author: krm152 Your Geep posting is most interesting, especially TH&B scenes.
Thanks for posting your photos. ALLEN Date: 05/13/22 16:35 Re: Geep Day Author: feclark What a nice series, Doug! I started shooting in 1976, so 3 GP9s on the headend of an important freight (if the auto racks are an indicator) is novel to me. The TH&B diamond shot is really crisp for the Instamatic.
