I like the combination of the F7A and the GP9. You can see that they are running with a 2nd unit ID |

sand & fuel |
| Description: |
Everyday things as they were at that time, on the engine service tracks at Shoreham! But it would not always be Geeps and F7s--- one day they would be replaced by newer, bigger and more powerful engines! |

| Description: |
white class lamps are displayed for "an extra train"! That is one which either just arrived or one that is soon to depart. Maybe both are true! |

| Description: |
sometimes on some railroads--- a "B unit" can be an F7A! This was true on the Soo Line where the 2203A &2203B, were both F7A's! You don't believe it, you say?! Then check my pictures, as they are both here! |

| Description: |
GP9's and F7A's mixed--- I loved it! Note the black air tanks on the top of the engine so as to make more room under the frame for a bigger fuel tank! |

31 cents a gallon |
| Description: |
It was probably not June 10th, 1968 because that was my operators date on the Milwaukee Road and I was in La Crosse, Wisconsin taking the "rules class" with the Chief Dispatcher back in those days when there was such a person! It was a time when GP9s ran together with F7As and/ or Bs--- and when GP30s & GP35s were new! AND before I forget it was also when gas was 31cents a gallon! That must have been nice you say?! Well considering that people then maybe made 2 or 3 dollars an hour and 5 cents worth of Jelly Beans would last all day--- I suppose all things are relative! But was it better than?! Yes and No is perhaps the correct answer! |
