B&O GP30 6906 by Chuck Zeiler on Flickr.
Caption: "Baltimore & Ohio Railroad GP30 6906 at Archer and Western Avenues in Chicago, Illinois on March 7, 1987. Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in October 1962 (c/n 27623) on EMD Order 7628, eventually became CSXT 4110 and was later rebuilt to road slug CSXT 2289. Note the interesting mix of logos on the nose and the employee modification of the cab heater intake below the Engineer's front window, covered over with red tape. This was one of the last manually controlled rail crossings in the city limits of Chicago."
Caption: “The paint may be the Chessie System circus colors, but this is pure B&O. Two original B&O GP9's, running long hood forward on the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago Terminal, are out of Barr Yard and rounding the curve at Blue Island. They're headed to the BN at Cicero.”
