CRIP 4710
Title:  CRIP 4710
Description:  Route Rock, too bad nobody did. Here is a reason why. Rock Island GP40 4710 only received a partial repaint in this photo. Not so good for the company image. Apparentlly, It wasn derailed in Oklahoma by kids who opened a switch in 1978. They only painted what they fixed. No date, location or photographer name given on this slide. Elena M Durant collection.
