And if you thought 3 GP30's was something, here's 5! Chesapeake and Ohio GP30 3007 trails another sister on a westbound freight over Subdivision 1, meeting the eastbound with 3021 leading two others pictured before, which is waiting in front of the C&O station at Merlin ON. All these units weren't but a year or two old at the time of this photo. Also note the station semaphore signals, old grain elevator and shed in the background, maintenance equipment on the siding track and the two fellows watching all the action.

  1. Super image, Bill. This line, regrettably, I did not chase.
