A pair of C30's at rest in N StL. Per this website, the 5097 became ALL 9256, and was still active in 2011. The 5083 became ALL 9219. Both went to Brazil, and were typical of what you would find running the K Line. Month and year are good, day is close.

This unit has been moved around several times during it's tenure at Museum of Transportation in St Louis Co, MO. Month and year are good, exact day is a guesstimate.

The month and day, I'm just guessing. But the year is correct.

Morrison Knudsen working out of Luther Yard in St Louis, MO

Viewed this unit several times in 2000, as I road the Metro Link to work. So took the time to view it a bit closer. There were no photos of it in CNW paint on this site. Originally a CRIP 1297, then 4464, then CNW (per the all time roster-shows retired in 1991). Year is good, but the exact date I do not remember. Last photos of this, in RRC colors, were in 2007, in IN, but nothing more.

Caught this one in Granite City, IL. Month and year are good, date is a guess.

Nice trio, waiting for a crew, on a very long shot.......year and month good, date is close.

There were 5 units on this mixed freight coming out of NS Luther yard in St Louis. This was number 3

Not the best scan (need my flatbed), buit the unit did get thru here......year and month good, date is a guess.

Caught this unit on a mix, working it's way toward the TRRA yard. Year is good, month and date a guess. Sorry for the rain drop........

A green machine works it's way thru Granite City, IL, with a pair of CSX units. Year and month good, date is a guess.

I had some individual photos of these. Going thru the 4x6's, and found this one with all five, taken on a very rainy day. The gray units are all ex QNSL. Links are broken on the single phqtos. Should I reload those? Date is approximate.
