GMO 630         
ICG used to keep units (typically 3) on the ready track at the River King coal mine #1 in Freeburg, IL to put together trains and haul them westbound to the yard in Venice. For a while, these units tended to include lots of GM&O power. Here GP35 630 idles on a late winter afternoon.

Jim Ford General One of the best paint schemes ever. 12/19/2015 7:54:02 PM
Tom Beckett General Amazing how long some of the GM&O power stayed in their paint. Always good to see one of them, looking just like it was 1969. Home page 04-29-2021 4/29/2021 4:59:55 AM
