Tom Beckett General CNW leased out a bunch of diesels in the late 70's. They were fairly common on Conrail as well. Interesting, two GP 30's-always a treat to see-in two different paint schemes. Great album. The variety of power, even on just the Santa Fe at the time, is amazing. 6/6/2023 6:33:35 AM
