| Description: |
COOKSON OK April 1985 -- Western Pacific GP40 3517 is far from its former home rails as it sits in the noon sun. The light is questionable but I had to shoot Western Pacific paint in Oklahoma. EMD built the 3517 (s/n 36824) on August 21 1970. After acquisition by Union Pacific it was to be renumbered UP 666 but on August 31 1985 it was retired and returned to owner-lessor Helm Financial Corp and was leased to Soo line. In April 1987 it became Chicago Missouri and Western 3517 and in July 1987 was renumbered CMNW 3000. In January 1990 it became Gateway Western 3000 and in January 1991 became Wisconsin Central 3000. , (Date of photo approximate, roster information from http://www.wplives.com/motivepower/drosters.html, http://www.trainweb.org/WPRRINFO/WhereAreTheyNowGP40.html, http://utahrails.net/all-time/all-time-08.php#gp40-wp3517 and http://www.trainweb.org/wisrail/wcroster.htm#Histories) |

| Description: |
WATONGA OK July 28 1985 -- Austin Todd & Ladd GP9 1948 awaits work. Sadly the unit appears to have undergone damage as the cab windows show evidence of possible bullet holes. The locomotive was built (s/n 24059) in June 1958 for Northern Pacific as NP 369, became BN 1948, retired in February 1985 and then to ATLT 1948.
