| D&RGW GP30 3022 westbound at Loomis Street in Naperville, Illinois on April 11, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This photo was used in Joseph A. Strapac's book, "Rio Grande Diesels - Vol. 2", and he captioned it as follows; It's April 11, 1966 in Naperville, Illinois, and the Burlington - Rio Grande diesel pool is in full swing. As evidence, here is an all-GP-30 locomotive consist led by Grande 3022 and 3005, followed by three Union Pacific GP-30's and a GP-30B. Units were pooled between Salt Lake City and Chicago, but the Grande accumulated more off-line mileage than was returned by the Q units. |
