    Thanks a lot Don. I really appreciate that! It is an excellent shot to start a collection, so others interested in Guilford can easily access in one place.

    Nice shot Darren. I've got a slide of a D&H Alco in the Guilford scheme, I think it's a C424? at East Binghamtom in 1990. I need to get a slide scanner and share it.

    The 690 has the big G but no stripe. Was the unit acquired from another road?

    Back then, Guilford would throw stuff into service like that or with less! Very common to see partial schemes. I have slides of the Detroit Edison power, in DE paint minus lettering, with just a big G on the side. All kinds of wierd stuff (especially if it was near the end on the D&H!)

    Yes Alan, the SD39s (as #690 above) were former N&W 2960 series. The link below shows her in full GRS "dress".

    Nothing happened when I clicked the link, except for the fortune city logo. Maybe they do not allow remote hosting :confused:

    Hmmmm, sorry about that Alan. I just tried it again, and it worked ok for me. :confused:
    Anyway, here's a different shot of the 690 from George Elwood's site.

    Even those from the D&H ranks were turned into these less colorful versions. :mad:

    Did that SD39 belong to a group of ex-N&W diesels that came from their acquisition of the Illinois Terminal? I ask this because I don't remember seeing any IT diesels with dynamic brakes.

    I would imagine so, 4 of IT's 6 SD39's went to Guilford after the lease was up with N&W if I remember right.

    Cool loco's..... [​IMG]
