| CRI&P U28B 265, Blue Island, Illinois, October 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in November 1966 (c/n 36159), becoming UP 503 on May 14, 1980, scrapped in 1982. It was owned by the UP, leased to the Rock Island, and returned to the UP when the Rock Island shut down in 1980. For the model railroaders out there, try modeling some "deferred maintenance" track, note the foreground rails. |
