Freshly rebuilt #322 was in the lead of this extra-powerful consist in May 1980.
A line-up of four of the GBW's eight Alco C-424s leads a westbound train as it approaches New London. The Green Bay & Western acquired five ex-Conrail locomotives in 1980 after they were rebuilt by General Electric at the ex-Erie Railroad shops in Hornell, N.Y. The reason for the extra power on this train became clear at New London; the two lead units were set out for a work extra; the train then departed with only two locomotives. Thanks goes out to Bill Christopher for sharing these high-resolution photos. |
