Here you go Comet, # 285 at Mechanicsville, NY in October 1985. [ 19. March 2004, 18:00: Message edited by: Don Rickle ]
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. Bill
I too am looking for Guilford images related to the D&H portion such as this one for the Guilford Era of my web site. Collection: Mark Wright Photographer: Greg Dickinson Date Taken: November 28, 1986 Location: East Binghamton, NY
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. [ 20. March 2004, 10:59: Message edited by: Don Rickle ]
Alan 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". Bill GRS #690
Nothing happened when I clicked the link, except for the fortune city logo. Maybe they do not allow remote hosting
Hmmmm, sorry about that Alan. I just tried it again, and it worked ok for me. Anyway, here's a different shot of the 690 from George Elwood's site. Bill GRS #690
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.....
