Hello, I'm looking for a photo reference for GP7 painted in the early B&O paint scheme. The all blue with gold stripe and B&O spelled out on the long hood. I've tried NorthEast rail images site, but they seem to only show the Chessie scheme and the blue gray black schemes for B&O. Anyone know of another site?
try www.railpictures.net There are no B&O GP7s but there is just about every B&O scheme on there. Brad
"B&O Power" has a few photos of passenger GP-7's in the 3400 series in that scheme, IINM. George Elwood's "Fallen Flags" site has a number of GP-7's in that scheme, plus this one--in color, even! Here's the link: https://www.rr-fallenflags.org/bo/bo3404abr.jpg Hope this helps.
The South Branch Valley operates a former B&O GP-9, torpedo tubes and all. Found it at Green Spring, WV on 10/16/1994.
