Note where the Chessie boxcars are is where the warehouse now sits.
It's actually about 1/2 mile west of US-131 in GR looking west. This is from the old interurban bridge that crosses the CSX line and the Grand River on this map: http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v ... &encType=1Ben Higdon wrote:Great pics!
Is that looking west from 131 in Grand Rapids?
Were those yellow Chessie boxcars insulated or reefers? I've never seen that scheme.
Thanks for posting!
Reminds me of the EL SD45 horn configurations...Mr. Tops wrote:All C&O GP30s were delivered like that with a five chime horn. It was actually a three chime on one side and two chime on the other side of the cab top as all five bells could not fit on one side. Other railroads (ie B&O, PRR, ATSF) only ordered their units with a three chime placed on the engineer's side cab roof, while others (ie NW, SOU, SBD) had five chimes mounted in the center-front of the cab roof. CP had their horns mounted on the long hood.
