Robert Farkas General The GM&O also washed the locomotive number on filty locomotives. It shows the fall from grace of these mighty steeds. 2/24/2013 9:17:58 PM
Scott Williams General Wendy, none of the NKP 80 Berkshires were built with Mars lights. The Bracket and Mars light were added to brand new 779 in 1949 for the Chicago Railroad Fair. The entire fleet of 112 Berkshires got them in 1950-51 and ran with them on until the end of steam in 1958. Therefore, this photo must be sometime before 1950-1951. 6/20/2016 10:41:50 PM
