I dont know if anybody noticed or not but the picture is taken in Ludlow KY.
So does that change anything?

Thats why I posted this: (I knew it wasn't columbus when the pic said Ludlow)

{ Joyce Ave Columbus Oh?

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=447550 }

If you go to the url, it lists the location as Ludlow, plus all the photographers info on the photo.

From here on out..As per Clavilin Rule A-apparant, Agreed to and certified by the staph, all picture material from the

RailPictureArchives and Railpictures.net along with other sites that provide it must include the information

page so that pertinent location and photographer identification can be made.

I went to wikipedia

to get the breakdown of who owned the GP40X's.

Southern Railway bought 3 of them (hi-nose of course)

and I found a picture of them all together. SP owned

4 and I found a picture of them (I wont include my pathetic

picture of a SP GP40X with elephant ears I took at Roseville).

The UP bought 6 of the GP40X with the different trucks.

I snapped a couple pix of a UP GP40X leading my California

Zephyr through Wyoming. I caught a ATSF hotshot through

Mojave Ca. with a pair of GP40X's on the point. Now in the

last few weeks I get to photograph a rare unit in every way

I can think.

Well, well, well... Phool me once...uh... wait... Krink's original post was a long time ago! wasn't it? Uh... Oh schitt! Well Uke was making a lame-assed attempt to stay on topic, expand the 40X subject as it were, but... A phailure is a phailure no matter how ya slice it! Chop dempoints away Rob! Go to it!

Uke's redundancy did not help! PHAIL!

I have to wonder if this may have been the same day, trailers on the head car look like the same ones. It's the Pig Yard in TQCOTW, 1979, looking much the same as it did the last time I saw it. In the background to the right, you can see the edge of the Cincinnati Union Terminal, the then-Green Team Pig Yard was built on much of what had been the concourse of the Cincinnati Union Terminal. The Pig Yard would have been fairly new then, having been built sometime around 1973 or so, from what I know.

Pipes, who enjoys shoving into it, may be able to tell us if it still looks like that.

Got Uke cal. But Krink's post (unlike Uke's) did NOT show the URL ta grab more actual facts concerning the 40X series... Wasn't very long b'fore Cy and Snippy got into their own pissing match over the "Red Team," "Green Team" thing again! All Uke was commenting on was the locomotive in question, no more, no less!

Snippy · Force Majeure

Any Red Team/Green Team pissing match always goes to The Red Team.
Everything they ever had always smelled like acrid, rotted piss.

One of the things I like about the BJ is that you may come across a
thread that will leave you snickering after you climb into bed and
a good way to "give up the day"...laughing.

Still looks like that, exacty the same even the road looks like that. But whats up with the passenger cars over to the left? I guess that was the Team Green make shift passenger station? Or was that pick taken on a special excusion day.

Snippy · Force Majeure

They were doing excursions with diesels that year.

(*cy* told Snippy)

Cy Valley · Upgraded Condition

It was an excursion day, Pipes. Attentive readers would know that from reading the remarks that accompany the picture on Flicker. That is, no doubt, there is a picture of the same train at Ludlow, the photographer, one would guess, was waiting for the excursion train to start its climb to Erlanger.

Pipes FC · Enemy of the State

I knew it was an excursion without ready, its like a sixth sense.

Cy Valley · Upgraded Condition

It is your readiness that may be one of your best traits. Maybe. Possibly. Mmmm, could be.

Pipes FC · Enemy of the State

I meant to say reading, but the iphone said ready. I guess cause Im ready to mark off.
