Gregg Bartley General I saw one of these when I was a kid in Colo. Spgs on point of the Springs half of the Rock Island Rocket. I remember being REALLY confused about this, as I was used to seeing F's and E's pulling most every train through there. What the heck is this thing? I didn't know until a few years ago what it was until I saw a photo of one at this site. FYI, when I saw it, I remember it having a different paint scheme. It had the maroon cab area and a silver body, like most of the other CRIP locomotives of the day. 1/12/2012 1:45:58 PM
