31 cents a gallon  Contributor's Pick!       
It was probably not June 10th, 1968 because that was my operators date on the Milwaukee Road and I was in La Crosse, Wisconsin taking the "rules class" with the Chief Dispatcher back in those days when there was such a person! It was a time when GP9s ran together with F7As and/ or Bs--- and when GP30s & GP35s were new! AND before I forget it was also when gas was 31cents a gallon! That must have been nice you say?! Well considering that people then maybe made 2 or 3 dollars an hour and 5 cents worth of Jelly Beans would last all day--- I suppose all things are relative! But was it better than?! Yes and No is perhaps the correct answer!

Bernie Feltman General AND, that 31 cents for gas is for premium grade. Regular, according to the sign in the background, was only 29 cents. Very nice photo and caption, Mr. Rush 7/31/2010 7:45:23 AM
