Curt Beal General Ugly looking things those are. I'm glad they only stay in that yard! 6/10/2013 2:47:44 PM
LM Gullo General Nice shot. Any idea on the heritage of these units? Is the GP part of the 1969 C&O order? 8/4/2013 5:17:09 AM
Tom Beckett General This is cool-one of those obscure parts of a large system nobody knows about. Great catch. 10/17/2013 1:21:45 AM
Dwight Hartje General Nice shot and catch! To bad the GP (5A) doesn't have a cab. 8/16/2014 5:26:41 PM
Barry Broyles General There is a Phone book like Operating Cab where the Right Front Steps of the locomotive (5A) should be, and also where the Left Rear Steps on Slug (5C) should be. There are a couple sets of these that are used to pull the Coal Hoppers through the rotary dumpers for the Coal Pier. 6/24/2015 4:49:57 AM
Butch Getz General Homepage 4-4-18.......looks like Robo-Train! 4/4/2018 5:53:24 PM
EM One General Now THAT is different!!!!! The 5A unit looks to have been a GP39 (-2?) at one time..... 9/6/2018 12:30:56 PM
